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.
