Pcmcia Wifi Card
« on: February 09, 2007, 08:28:31 am »
Well, I tried this out even though I didnt think it would work but low and behold, I got my Zaurus online!  On the back of the card there are checkboxes for 3.3v or 5v and it says that it is 5.  I just wanted to be sure that this would not damage my Zaurus in any way.  Thanks for any information.

* Should * be OK.  I'm a bit vague on the details, but most PCMCIA cards, apart from older ones should be both 3.3v and 5v.  I have used a DLink DRC650 on my SL5500 without problems before.  However, an Intel Etherexpress (wired ethernet) wouldn't work, even though it was recognised, and an old Psion modem wouldn't even be recognised.

Thanks guys.  It is a Orinoco/Dell/Lucent card (It has three brand names on it?).  I just wanted to be sure I didnt break the thing...
