| 434487 | 2006-03-18 05:17:00 | What OS? If 98SE it's anyones guess. If 2K or XP, would be reasonably successful? Win98SE is the minimum for Wifi. I have a USB DSE wifi "card" XH8344 and it works well with a number of access points. |

| 434488 | 2006-03-19 01:25:00 | USB WiFis are quite usable.. I've got two of an earlier DSE model. They work perfectly: one on a W2k laptop; the other on a W98 (not SE). They are just 802.11b (11 Mbps max) . When I got a PCI one for my server from Trademe, I had more trouble with that. It seems to want other peers running when it is powered up; otherwise it ignores them. The USBs can be plugged in and just start up. But Billy_T's laptop has a 5v only PCMCIA interface, cards that are 3.3v only will not physically insert. Thats also a Standard ...Anything fits if you've got a big enough hammer. :D My "standard" reference was to the WiFi, not the physical implementation. I wasn't suggesting an ISA card either. I was saying that it isn't compulsory to use 3Com. ;) I do like them. I've got a number of their Ethernet and modem PC cards. I've got some cheaper cards, too. I'd like a Rolls Royce. A bike is a hell of a lot cheaper to buy and run. |
