Where do you put an Airport Extreme Card
By the pictures on apple's site I can tell the 802.11g card is not a "pci-esk" card. Where does it go? Second, can the new airport extreme be used on older powerbooks or towers??
When a IIci just wont cut it....

Re: Where do you put an Airport Extreme Card
1: it fits the MINI-PCI form factor
2: It only currently works with the new powerbooks released at macworld.
3: You can not put an old apple airport card in a new airport Extreem slot. (but why would you want to?)

Ok, that is a really bad new.
I just gave my sister my old iBook, without the Airport card because I was planning to use it in my new laptop (a new iBook until the new 12PB changed my mind).
Now I have to buy a new card?
But... I can still use the old base station, can't I?
Ugh, ugh, ugh...
