Spelling: AirPortCard
These look like PCMCIA [1] cards but actually aren't. They are used to
upgrade "AirPort ready" Apple computers (both desktop and laptop) with
wireless capability. Apple's AirPort Base Stations [2] are standard
802.11b so AirPort [3] Card equipped Apples will work with non-Apple
access points and vice versa.
The special AirPort [4] connector on AirPort [5]-ready Apples carries
an antenna pin, which connects to an antenna built into the frame of
the machine. With a bit of futzing about, you can get a pigtail in
there.
AirPort [6]-ready, G3-based, slot-load iMacs need a caddy to install
an AirPort [7] card.
AirPortExtreme [8] cards are 802.11g and not back-compatible with
Airport slots. Damn you Steve!
