AIRPORT with old bondi blue IMAC
Ihave an old bondi blue imac i want to hook up to my airport connection.Is there a way to do it,since it has no place for an airport card?Right now i have the cable and airport hooked to new power mac.I have a newer imac and a windows machine also hooked up wirelessly.If i can not do it wireless ,is there another way? There seems to be another ethernet slot that is not being used at this time.Can i use it?
Could use some help.The Apple guy at Comp USA was no help.

That is a mezzazine slot (not PCI).
I don't think there is any solution unless it is over USB.

Re: AIRPORT with old bondi blue IMAC
I too have an iMac that I would love to have hooked to my Airport network. I found this:

I have not tried it but it seems you hook it up to an open USB port on the iMac and Voila, it should be connected. It costs 130 so I am still deciding if it is worth it. They have drivers for OS 9, that's all my iMac can run anyway, and Beta drivers for OS X. Hope this helps.

How about a $20 ethernet hub and an extra ethernet cable? Seems easier and cheaper.
