I have an iBook G3 without an Airport card. I would like Wi-Fi, but AirPort Original Cards are so rare and expensive. Are there any Mac compatible alternatives? Like if you go to Wal Mart, there are internal Wi-Fi cards you can buy for a laptop. Like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8544934&type=product&id=1188560188081
But works with my G3 iBook.

I've got a 900 MHZ G3 iBook that just finally died on me- another logic board issue.. I'm not putting another one in it (I draw the line at 4-lol)- I'm just going to replace it with a MacBook.. Anyway, I had an Airport card in it- worked flawlessly- those G3 iBooks got outstanding Wi-Fi reception.. If you can use it your more than welcome to it...I don't even know if it's compatible or not- if it is I can pop it out for you.. Can't remember if I did that one myself or just had them install it because it was so long ago but if you're interested PM me and we'll see if it will work for you..
