alt Hacker Newsthis looks sick as hell. i wonder whether there are viable NE2000 drivers for PowerBooks running classic Mac OS? modern WiFi (even limited by PCMCIA) might be preferable to era-appropriate WiFi. not much you can get an Orinoco card to talk to these days if you can even find one.
Look for Asante FriendlyNet drivers perhaps -- these were Mac OS 7.5+ compatible NE2000 cards.
