Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] PCI->PCMCIA support?

[Eric L. <er...@ra...>]

Are there known 'working' PCI->PCMCIA bridges for OS 10.2.X?  I am
just borrowing one from work, and if I can order one online for 25-30
bucks that will work I'd be happy to do it.  I did download the
project and will try turning on the dubbing and see what that does.
Thanks for the advice.
