Sorry if this is slightly off-topic, but it does relate to a PC
running Windows ME on a home network. :-) Does anyone know if there is a Wireless (802.11b) PCI adapter available that will work on a rather old PC with an AT mobo and AT power unit? All the adapters I have checked out need a PCI Ver. 2.2 slot, and will not work in "old" PCI slots. The slots on AT PCs can never be Ver. 2.2 because the AT power supply does not provide the extra 3.3v line that is required by the new standard. Unfortunately the PC doesn't have USB ports either. I considered installing a PCI-to-USB card ... but discovered that needs PCI Ver. 2.2 too! Doh!!! The PC works just fine as a workstation with a wired NIC, but I would like to go wireless if possible to avoid cabling. -- Walt Davidson Email: g3nyy @despammed.com Walt Davidson |
