Wireless?

[jdbennet]

Any reccomendations on buying (usb or pcmcia) wireless cards for Windows Nt4 or 98SE?

NT4 doesnt have plug and play so its probably a long shot, but 98SE?

At work we have one of these running in a win 98 machine, it seems to work pretty good.

thanks but i need usb or pcmcia cards, as its for a lappy

Oh, that was rather stupid of me. Here check out this one, it shows that it supports win 98. Also I would suggest going with USB as you could use it on other systems if the laptop ever dies.

yeah i was thinking of that one, could probably get it cheap from my work.

but i had bad experiences with the PCI version of that on XP, but oddly no issues with linux.

so maybe it will work on 98, will give it a try and report back.

Hehe, a LOOONG time ago, I used a PCMCIA to CompactFlash converter and a CF wifi card to get an old 486 laptop on wireless. It was difficult enough to get 98 on that beast, but it worked! Technically any card should work as long as the hardware's compatible. The biggest issue now-of-days is finding compatible drivers, seeing as 98 is all but forgotten.

yeah it had xp on it for a while, but i found 98SE just ran better for day to day stuff

pentium 3 650mhz
384mb (upgraded from 128) ram
25gb hdd
