I'm falling in love with my G4 lampshade. If any of you have an old Airport card, I'd love one! I don't care how fast it is, if it's cheap enough. Just a few webpages on top of playing movies and I'm a happy camper.

I have a tangerine iBook with one (non extreme).
Not sure what model of iMac you have. I think the later ones came with extreme.

It would be a cool complement to go with a vintage lampshade.
Looks like a airport card is selling for about $25-40 based on a quick search.

These iBooks usually sell for about $150-200 when up and running. My HD just crashed (bound to of happened eventually), and I haven't had time to find a new one yet. I can't see paying much for one.

Anyways, if you're interested I'd sell the ibook with card for $100 firm.
Don't really want to split. Sorry.

I'm also coming to Calgary (Bearspaw) next week, so you'd be able to pick it up locally (and test off a boot CD). Not sure if that would interest you or not.

Cheers,
Nick

No thanks.

I've got a B version, $30 + shipping. PM for details

If that's a late model iMac then it takes an airport extreme card !

Yep, 1.0 and 1.25 take AE before that - 800mhz and earlier use Airport.

If you have an iPhone you could use MyWi or the new version of pdaNet to set up a wifi>usb tether. That's what I do with an old emac that I have around when I need to connect it to wifi

You can install a lucent silver wave card and it works just like airport although some hacking of the card itself may need to happen. I installed one in my 17" imac 800 and it works great! But if you can find an original for a decent price I would do that

I sure appreciate the advice of what to look for and buy!

Depends on which iMac G4 you have. Later 1.0 ghz and above had Airport Extreme, USB 2.0, used different ram, etc. Both types of cards are available for $20-40 or so used now...

Another viable and usually inexpensive solution is to use a USB wireless card- available in B, G and N speeds. The B sticks will not work with OSX. The G & N sticks will be limited to slower speeds(B speed) on USB 1.0 machines, full speed on USB 2.0 machines, and work only with OSX- no OS9 drivers. That won't matter if you have later model-they won't boot into OS9 anyway.
