Recommended Posts

I have an old XP Vaio computer without wireless capabilities. I had a Linksys WCP11 which fit a Type II PCMCIA slot, that my daughter borrowed and can't find, so I need a new card... The problem is that I don't really understand the evolution cycle of PCMCIA since that time. Can I ASSUME CardBus cards (for example a Linksys W54g) IS NOT compatible with the older standard. I would LIKE to have 'G' functionality. Education/Suggestions appreciated.

thanks guys ... I finally found this http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/h/0037.asp which I found to be the most coherent answer (MO). I actually found the Wiki explanation first last night, but is about worth what they charge. The computer is limited to 512M so is just about useless, BUT it has a parallel port and I plan on using it as a print server, and moving the laser printer to another room.

Thanks
