[CW Smith]

Ray: Your initial post said you had a BW G3. I pictured this:

As I stated before, the B&W G3 does ot have AirPort slot.

If, instead, we're talking about a Blueberry or Indigo slot-loading  
iMac, then you very likely do have and AirPort slot: only the very  
first, 350MHz models did not. (Those machines also did not have  
FireWire, so that's a quick way to make sure: no FW, no AP).

So I'll throw the question back to the group: does anyone have an  
original AirPort card for Ray?

Peace,
CW
