Hello everyone. I have a Wallstreet at work and it looks like I won't
be upgraded for a long time :( I'd like to get a USB PCMCIA card for it.
Can I just buy any old card on ebay (cheap!) or do I need a special Mac
compatable card? I'm running 9.1.

Thanks,
MK

I am a Wallstreet owner and I am also running OS 9.1. I have been
using two PCMCIA Cards a macally DardBus to USB adapter for MAC and a
OrangeLink FireWrie CardBus PC Card. I have been using both of these
cards for months with all types of peripherals and I haven't had any
problems.
