I am having problems getting wifi to work on my Powerbook 1400cs with a Orinoco Gold wifi card I have as far as I know the correct drivers. I have Mac OS 7.6.1 the card does not show up to select in the TCPIP control panel. I have been following this turorial https://penmachine.com/techie/airport1400.html but aren't having any look getting it to work. The card shows up on the desktop okay. any help getting this to work greatly appreciated. Christopher. |

Macintoshgarden has an extensive collection of Orinoco drivers including some manuals which may prove helpful. Generally speaking Orinoco cards are very compatible with Macs that have PCMCIA slots. I did have an Orinoco Silver card working on a PB 5300ce. Later version of system software with AirPort compatibility are compatible with Orinoco cards out of the box. System 7.6 will require manually adding the needed drivers and software. These cards are getting old, so it might be worth checking to see if the card is still good. A Mac with a PCMCIA slot on OS 8.6+ should just see and use the card. You could also do a temp install of a newer OS on your 1400 to check if the card just shows up. (A working card should also just show up on a Windows or Linux laptop with a PCMCIA slot.)
