No
The iMac uses a combined Airport/Bluetooth card.
The mini has two separate cards, and the card connections are completely different, even the antenna connectors are not interchangeable.
note - the G4 mini's airport card is a standard Airport Extreme card, same as used in the oldest iMac G5, and most iBook G4/iMac G4/MDD PowerMac, and others of that generation. Likely easy to find one of those. The Bluetooth card may not be as common.
... would know if an airport card from an eMac G4 1.25ghz, year 2004 would fit my Mac mini g4, 1.25ghz, which is a 2005 model...just trying my luck!
Hi, thx again.The Airport Extreme card is the same one used in a variety of different iMacs, PowerMac G4 and G5, and PowerBooks/iBooks from the 2003-2005 era.
An Airport Extreme card pulled from a later eMac will work perfectly in the mini G4.
