So to turn a bit more on-topic, my big thrift store
find of the week
is a 400MHz Ruby iMac. It looks loaded with OS 10.4.2 on a 10GB
Quantum drive, a Matsushita CD-ROM, 576MB of RAM (the original 64MB
plus an add-on 512MB PC-133 DIMM), and no Airport/WiFi interface. I
found the spot for it - a pair of mounting brackets and an antenna
cable, but no interface. :-(
IIRC it's just a Prism II card. You can still buy them *new* from
Proxim as the ORiNOCO Classic Gold. Why? Because a shitload of stuff
out there still uses Prism II cards and WEP as part of embedded systems.
