Spec:
166Mhz Pentium (replaced the P133 chip)
32mb RAM (replaced 24mb)
keyboard replaced
1.3Gb HD
Win 98

Here's the issue. This laptop does not recognize Card bus PC cards. A while ago I tested it with a wifi pc card (card bus) and it didn't work, which I later figured out was because it didn't support it.

So I want to know, are there any non-card bus wifi pc cards out there? Could someone point me in their direction?

It has IrDA though, probably not 4mbs, but if it can muster broadband internet speeds then it should suffice.

What about PC card to USB? I already own a USB wifi device. Do you know where I can get a NON-card bus PC card to USB female adapter?
