If you have a slot loading imac g3, this is what you need for it to accept the 802.11b [before g revision] airport card. Installion is extremely easy- you don't even have to open the case completely, thanks to a removeable panel below the VGA port on the back that allows access to the RAM [this card fits just above the RAM onto a proprietary port on the slot loading G3s]. Since the card is limited to 11mb/sec anyway this adpter isn't going to slow down the network- actually, using the 802.11b airport card w/ this will increase performance if your using a USB 802.11b adapter because the imac g3 uses usb 1.1, not 2.0. I notices faster loading, leading me to believe that the proprietary port this adapter plugs into is faster than usb 1.1.

Received the item in a reasonable time and found it to be in good condition and worked properly. A call to the provider was necessary to suggest a better packing recommendation for electronic circuit boards.

Many thanks go out to the seller who has always been courteous and consistently provides good merchandise! The adapter is essential and was easy to use with the classic airport card: installation was a breeze and my G3 now serves a much wider purpose at home. Thanks!
