PCMCIA Network card for 16-bit Mac and System 7.6

DeepFriedCookies

Does anyone know of any that can be picked up easily on the used market for cheap/free? I kinda want to use my old Powerbook as an IRC box now. What's a good compatible model? I have a random 3com unit for my Thinkpad (which is sitting in my car, actually lol) but it doesn't support MacOS.

Try this driver.

Also, Orinoco WiFi cards should work with a driver or the built in AirPort one.

With System 7.6 that would be a bit tough. A lot of 3com and US Robotics products were good about being cross platform so I would start there.

I found an IRC client for System 7. Works with PPC and M68K:

Screen just started acting up on this laptop. There are weird lines going through the screen. It's still usable, just looks funny. Anyone know what this is?

I actually know what this is, some PowerBooks had issues with this with the display cable. Replace that and it should work.

Funnily enough, it seems even modern Macs have similar issues:

All laptops pretty much are in risk of display cable damaging to some extent or another.
