We're an Apple family at home with several computers and the original Airport. At work I'm a PC person and I needed a wireless card that would be compatible with the Airport. This Aerocard works great! I'm not that computer savvy and I was up and running in 5 minutes on our intranet. We're thinking of up-grading to Airport Extreme and this card will work with 802.11g also AND for our older Apple computers that cannot take Airport Extreme cards, this Aerocard WPE-800 is compatible. I'm delighted with the purchase and Amazon's $64 price was the lowest that I can find.

I plugged this into my Powerbook G3 Firewire (Pismo) running OS X 10.3. It worked without a hitch. It doesn't use the built-in antenna, but since the card's antenna protrudes from the computer case, reception is quite good (better than my 15" Al Powerbook G4).

An absolutely painless way to add 802.11g to my computer (especially compared to the intricate procedure for installing the original Airport card).

The freedom of wireless is here with the new Macsense AeroCard Plus (WPE-700). AeroCard Plus is a plug-and-play 802.11b wireless PCMCIA card that fits into any Type-II PCMCIA slot and adds wireless capability to PowerBooks and laptop PCs.

Equipped with a high-power industrial antenna with a maximum output power of 200mW, AeroCard Plus offers a coverage range up to 3 times more than other regular wireless LAN cards in the market. Check http://www.methodshop.com for more info.

AeroCard Plus can send and receive data up to speeds of 11Mbps and is fully compatible with Apple AirPort Base Station and other IEEE 802.11b-compliant devices.

With your laptop and the AeroCard, you are free to work where you want to work. Surf the Net from the comfort of your couch during the big Sunday game. Or review your stock portfolio in bed. Answer your email at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee. The convenience of where and when you want to connect to your network, or the Internet, is now yours.

Complete with drivers for Mac OS 9, OS X (Jaguar) and Windows 98-XP, AeroCard offers the unique cross-platform compatibility.
