P2527 Apple Imac A1076 logic board 1.8 Ghz Graphic clitches SELL AS IS The logic board works HOWEVER the graphic clitches 39.99.On a related note, I've never tried using a PCMCIA FireWire card, but I would suspect it would work too. Apple machines are so ahead of their time, it's amazing. So, at a stroke my 1998 PowerBook bettered my desk-iMac G4 which can only use the b-standard according to Apple. Shutting down, and then removing the card, was ofcourse problem-free. Only thing that was a serious no-no, was ejecting the card while the system was running. I plugged it into one of the 2 PCMCIA slots, and upon start-up, my old laptop was wireless, g-standard and everything. I read a few things on the internet, went to a computer store that was knowledgeable, and had a return policy worth its salt, and bought an AeroCard Extreme from MacSense (model WPE-800). Then, I was travelling to the USA and wanted to try wireless.

Anyway, I managed to install Jaguar on it, and it runs fine, not the fastest, but hey the machine was born in 1998.

Don't see the need for the expense, though. It has 192 Mb, which is the Apple-specified max, although I have read this can go to 512 Mb. I still used a PowerBook G3 300 MHz (the Wall Street model), with no USB or Firewire. I tried something similar on an even older model. This is sort of a "try at your own risk thing," as I have no idea whether this method works on computers other than my own, though I have no idea why it wouldn't.If you don't put it back in before the computer wakes up, then you will have to restart, which is a pain for those of us who try to have run times measured in months rather than days (though following a few guidelines can prevent restarting from ever having to happen). While your computer is asleep, you can take the card out and put it back in before the computer wakes up (for transporting in a small case, for example), and your computer will be none the wiser. As far as I can tell, this accomplishes the same end. Workarounds: You can turn off AirPort using the AirPort drop-down menu.

You also cannot use the PCMCIA menu to turn the card off, then turn it back on again and use it.

For some reason in both Panther and Tiger, it requires a restart for the system to recognize the card as an AirPort card again. However, it isn't "unplug and play again without a restart." You cannot take the card out while the computer is on and the put it back in again.

Apple uses Broadcom chipsets in their AirPort cards (at least the 802.11g ones), and a lucky little thing in both Tiger and Panther (maybe Jaguar, too) is that if you have a Broadcom chipset connected via the PCMCIA slot in your computer, the OS will treat it as if an AirPort card had been installed - with no configuration or software whatsoever.
