Re: NTLK Does AirPort card work with PCMCIA?

The Farallon Skylan card I have in my powerbook is a PCMCIA type card and
I'd love to drop it into my mp2100 sitting right next to it. I have my
fingers crossed that Farallon or someone else will hack us a driver to
make this possible. These cards should be dropping in price soon due to
the recent announcement of the new faster version due out in April. I've
been very pleased with mine and hope to use it eventually to add my
newton to the new wireless network I have.
