powerbook past its prime

choasforages:
i happen to have a powerbook 1400 with a g3 233mhz processor, the only problem with it is that i need to connect to my network and have tried several pcmcia cards to no luck it tells me that i don't have the software for the card and asks whether i want to eject it or not, about how much would it cost to buy a pcmcia card that would work or to buy an internal adapter and where do you think that i could buy one (i have already checked out ebay), i need it for setiathome and to learn more about mac os 9.1, i wish it could run mac osx, i know more about *nix then mac os so i even tried a different OS on it
"of cource it runs netbsd"
"ummm, not this one"
so i would appreciate any help and input on it and how to hook it up to the internet
thanks

Calum:
i thought you could run OSX on a G3, am i wrong?

choasforages:
well, you can run osx on a g3, but this was origianly a 603e. the guy i got it from put a sonnet g3 card in it, on apples site it said that only up to mac os 9.1 is compatible with it, i even tried to install 9.2 but it told me that it is not compatible with that model of powerbook. ill also go find out which pcmcia card  i tried to use in it, i don't have them all sitting in front of me right now,
thanks

I thought every PowerMac and PowerBook had a network interface built-in.

This model does not. It's from around 1996. Back then, onboard eth0 wasn't a big deal.

As for your cards, you might want to check the manufacturer page to see if they've released a Mac driver. If not, write angry letters and post the addys here so we can write to them.
