Powerbook G3 (WallStreet) OSX compatible with  PCMCIA Belkin WiFi 802.11G ?

Hello
Do you know it the PCMCIA card Belkin WiFi 802.11G sold on the Apple Store is compatible with an old Powerbook G3 WallStreet (without USB and Firewire)?
I will install the macOsX 10.3 system on it.
Thanks for your help

Michel,
Belkin has had a variety of wifi PC cards with confusing model numbers and version numbers.
The Belkin F5D7010: Supposedly there are three versions(!); v1 and v2 supported Apple's AirPort software (Mac OS X 10.2.8 or newer and AirPort 3.1.1 or newer) since it used the Broadcom chipset. Then v3 was released and it was no longer supported by AirPort. BelKin then released drivers for v3 which apparently solved the problem.
The Belkin F5D7011: This card supposedly uses the Broadcom chipset and is fully supported by AirPort.

Or you could buy one of these cards where there is no question about support:

  • Airport Extreme (802.11n) with Airport Express/Extreme (802.11g/b) ?

    If the 802.11n airport extreme is the main router, and used in conjunction with older airport extreme/express (single antenna); what will happen?
    Will the network drop to the 802.11g speeds?
    Will the benefits of MIMO be lost?

    According to this Macworld.com article:Once you add 802.11g or 802.11b devices to the network, the performance of the entire network will be affected; it won’t be reduced all the way down to the slower performance of the respective older standards, but performance won’t be as fast as a single-standard network. (And 802.11b devices will affect performance to a greater extent than 802.11g devices will.)

  • Powerbook Titanium/G4 need compatible USB PCMCIA USB 2.0 card

    I have a G4/Titanium Powerbook and acquired a new iPod Nano (4th G). It requires a USB 2.0 port to synch/recharge, but my Laptop only has USB 1.1. I thought that a PCMCIA card would remedy the situation, but when I purchased one from SIIG, I was told by their Tech SUpport that the card did not support iPods. Synching on the USB 1.1 is murderously slow and I want to keep my war horse functional as long as I can. Does anyone know of a PCMCIA Card USB 2.0 adaptor that will work with iPod Nano 4th G? Thanks.

    Hello Jim,
    You've landed in the PowerMac G4 forums for late-model desktop machines like pictured under my name at the left. The G4 PowerBooks have separate forum areas, broken down by model. This link takes you to the forum for the Ti PowerBooks:

    You may also consider asking on the appropriate iPod forum, as someone there may have worked it out for your model.

  • Getting online with a Belkin wifi router

    Have a Macbook pro - just bought a Belkin N wireless router. Worked ok on open security, but as soon as I put security on it (naturally) asks for the key. I have this (WEP, 128bit hex), put it in when I try to connect via airport, and then the connection times out every time. Tried calling belkin who said put a $ sign in front of the string, but makes no difference. Have several windows PCs (sorry!) in the house which all work perfectly.
    Any ideas please?

    Cheers.
    The setup is through a browser - you basically navigate to 192.168.0.1 which brings up the router's set up screens - and there's an option to run a set up wizard that does it all automatically.
    Anyway, he rang last night to say he tried again, and the set up wizard told him there was already a working internet connection - so it appears to be working at last.
    No idea what he was doing wrong before tho'.

  • How do I extend the range of my existing Belkin WiFi network with an Airport Express Gen 2?

    It is my understanding that the second generation of the Airport Express can be used to extend an existing non-Apple WiFi network.  From all I read, it was very difficult to do with the Gen 1 Airport Express, but I don't find anyone referencing the Gen 2.  My router is a Belkin Share F7D3302 V1 (updated to current firmware as of yesterday).  I am able to attach to the Belkin network and stream music to my home theater, but would also like to extend my WiFi.  Any help is appreciated.

    It is my understanding that the second generation of the Airport Express can be used to extend an existing non-Apple WiFi network.
    Not sure where this information has come from....and it would be extremely surprising if this were true. Do you have a link to an official announcement from Apple that would confirm this?
    As far as we know, Apple's "extend" setting remains a proprietary feature that is designed to work only with other Apple routers. The "new" Express appears to carry on that tradition.
    As such, it would be very unlikely that any of the Apple routers would be compatible with a Belkin product....or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.....if you are thinking of extending using wireless only.
    If you figure out how to do this.....it will be a breakthrough of major proportions. Please let us know if you are successful.

  • Is there any external storage that is compatible with the ipad2

    is there any external storage that is compatible with the ipad2

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

  • I would like to replace my old AE 802.11g with new version 802./11n - How do I connect

    I have just bought a new Airport Express (802.11n wi-fi)  and would like to use it as the base station in place of the older version (802.11g).
    The old one to be used in another room connecting to my sound sytem as an extention to the new one.
    Both of these AEs  utilise different Aiport Utility (5.6 against 6.1).
    Can anyone please give me some detailed explanations of  how I can set-up these devices, if indeed they are possible.
    Alan

    Sorry, just to make sure: Do you want the older 802.11g Express just for iTunes streaming or (in addition) to extend the wireless range of the newer 802.11n Express? If it is the latter, you may want to reconsider doing so as the only way to extend with "mixed" base stations is with a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    A WDS has two major disadvantages: 1) It can only operate in the 802.11g radio mode, basically negating the advantage of your 802.11n Express, and 2) For every base station added to the WDS, the overall bandwidth is cut in half. So starting with 54 Mbps (for 802.11g), your extended wireless network will be running around 25-27 Mbps.

  • Slow wireless speed with new iMac Intel- problem with 802.11g?

    There IS a problem with the new Intel Mac, I have tried both the Intel iMac and the new Intel Mac mini and they both have the same problem with slow wireless speed (or rather it variates, if I do a ping to another computer on the network the speed goes from < 1 ms up to 1000 ms and then down to < 1 ms and so on). The older mac minis, my Linux boxes and my Windows PCs don´t have that problem. I have also read reports on the net and it appears that most users experiencing this problem have wireless card firmware version 101.3 (3.120.28.3) . A possible "fix" is to change to 802.11b on the router and then it works. No speed fluctuations and a stabile network! I know it is a bad solution, I would prefer to use 802.11g and get the speed. However I think this points to a problem with the drivers regarding 802.11g. I am starting up a new thread on this and those of you with problems, please try to switch to 802.11b and if it works let us make Apple aware of this.

  • What usb auto switch is compatible with OSX and Windows for sharing the same printer

    I just bought a new iMac for myself to replace my old Dell PC.  My husband still has his PC with Windows Vista and our work stations are set up to share the same MFC with a Belkin auto switch.   Unfortunately that software is not compatible with my OSX and I am having trouble searching for another auto switch that is compatible with both computer operating systems.  Can anyone recommend one to me?

    Hmmm, we bought a brand new V300 from Epson and hooked it up it didn't work. We went through all the steps, downloaded all the drivers, and after several days of frustration, it still did not work so we returned it.
    Apple hasn't been able to give us technical advice, Epson couldn't help. The only scanners sold locally are the printer/scanner combos.
    I was looking at the Fujitso ScanSnap 1500M earlier tonight... am wondering if I can get by with this scanner since most of my scanning nowadays has to do with business documents. It sure would be nice to organize clutter and the text said something about compatible with the "cloud" as well.
    I use my iPad all the time to show galleries & collectors the quality of my paintings... type up proposals, etc. Thanks for letting me know about it's compatibility with my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
    Thank you for your input, AppleMan1958. you are wonderful.

  • What hard drives are compatible with OSX Snow Leopard Boot Camp?

    Recently when the video card in my desktop Mac died, I decided to make some upgrades, one of them being the hard drive. After doing some research, I fixed on the Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green 3.5-Inch and had it installed at the same time as the new video card. I installed OS 10.6.8, opened up Boot Camp Assistant, set the partition sizes: 2.5 TB for my Mac side and 500 GB for the Windows. XP wouldn't install so I ordered Windows 7 and began trying to set up the Windows partition. Each time I tried, I got the same error -- Windows 7 couldn't install on the 500 GB partition since it was formatted GPT which was strange since when I looked at the partition inside of Disk Utility, it said NTFS. While troubleshooting, I came across the following:
    ・Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive.
    ・The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    ・In a 32-bit MBR world, a disk larger than 2TB is probably invalid, and different OS's and tools react wildly differently when this is forced beyond 2TB.
    I called Western Digital to confirm which of their drives were in fact compatible with Boot Camp and they replied since Boot Camp was a third-party application, they have no information on compatibility. They told me to call Apple to get the information. Before purchasing a new drive and sending back the 3TB WD, I want to be sure I know which specs to look for in a hard drive in deciding whether it is compatible with my machine. Any helpful advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are the specs for my Mac:
    2006 24" iMac 6,1 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    OS 10.6.8
    Boot Camp Assistant 3.0.4

    Thanks for responding to my question. I guess I'm not sure I understand your reply though. I had no problem installing OS X on the 3TB WD Caviar Green and WD assured me that if I wanted to install only Windows 7 on it, there would be no compatibility issues. The problem lies with wanting the drive to be dual-bootable I guess via using Boot Camp (I know of no other way to go about it). The tech at OWC (where I bought the drive) said he had never heard of any problems with being able to install both Mac and Windows OS on the drive. In fact, he gave the same reply as yours: most hard drives should be able to work perfectly fine with your Mac. It's just that I can't get XP or Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) to install on the 2nd partition, making the drive I have now not dual-bootable. The tech said 2TB hard drives were different and should solve the problem but when I asked him for any discernible spec I could look for in shopping for a replacement drive, he couldn't give me one, i.e. most drives should be okay. I have paid to have the 3TB installed and will have to pay to get the drive taken out and a replacement put back in -- I want to make sure whatever drive I put in this time allows me to have 2 partitions: one for my Mac OSX system and the other for my Windows enviroment (either XP or Windows 7).
    If there is a work-around not involving Boot Camp, please let me know. I thought the reason for using Boot Camp as opposed to Disk Utility to create the dual-bootable drive was the benefit of using Mac drivers on the Windows side.
    If there is another way, I don't understand why PC world made this blanket statement:
    "Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive."

  • Deskjet 3050 not compatible with new OSx Lion

    Yesterday i purchased a new MacBook Pro from the apple store and it came with a free HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-one j610 series printer. Upon putting in the disk to install and setup the printer it said it wasnt compatible with the new OSx 10.7, Only 10.5 and 10.6 are supported? Long story short my router (that VerizonFios provided) doesn't support WPS so i need to use the USB option to connect my new printer to my network but my MacBook OS isnt supported. Please help. Thats kind of a shame that i get a free printer and cant set it up.

    Its just sad that they would even provide a promotion product that isnt compatible with their own. Im going to try and set it up wireless-ly with my pc and if that fails im going back to the store. Thats such a shame that they would do that.
