RE:CF Network Card for $55, does it work? (modified 0 times) iogenie Profile Here's more info from the manufacturer... http://www.trendware.com/products/pcmcia/10Mbps/spec-tecf10.htm Haven't tried one, but they seem to support all flavors of CE. 02-08-2001 08:28:55

RE:CF Network Card for $55, does it work? (modified 0 times) Augur xterra2000, Any particular reason you are trying to get a CF-based solution? I tried my trusty NetGear FA410TX dual 10/100 pcmcia ethernet card from my Toshiba notebook (which did not work at all in my 2.04 hacked ePods). I then went to CompUSA (a physical store, not the online site) and they had a "generic" dongle-free pcmcia ethernet card for $30. It works like a champ, or at least until I can cough up the bucks for a wireless setup. Here is a link to the manufacturer (or at least what appears to be the same product under a different OEM stamp): http://www.bromax.com/product/BIN010-TF.htm The next link is to the online CompUSA site (you really have to hunt for this one) that shows the same "store-bought" product for only $20: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product%5Fcode=274426 10 BaseT PCMCIA Card Manufacturer: FMI Mfg Part #: 10320002 CompUSA SKU: 274426 CompUSA Price: $19.99 Good luck.

RE:CF Network Card for $55, does it work? (modified 0 times) xterra2000 Augur, Thanks for the info for the dongle-less network card. I will check it out soon, hopefully I can retire my Linksys card which with the huge doungle. Well, I was wondering if this CF card make any different in term of speed. My Linksys is really slow for surfing web. 02-08-2001 09:39:10

RE:CF Network Card for $55, does it work? (modified 0 times) xterra2000 Augur, I bought the card that you mention from CompUSA local store for $20. When I got I found out that it wasn't a dongle-free card. I come with a dongle, even it was smaller than the linksys one. I will go back to CompUSA again tonight and check out if they have carry the different one. Anyway, thanks. 02-09-2001 14:44:34

RE:CF Network Card for $55, does it work? (modified 0 times) Augur Egads, I will double-check the SKU on my box when I get home. Sorry if I put the wrong info in my previous post. The one I bought came in a green box with generic ethernet specs on the outside. Definitely dongle-free, with a stubby protrusion beyond the ePods case when installed, a CAT5 connector, and two leds (LINK and ACT). Augur "The emperor has no style" 02-09-2001 14:51:12

RE:CF Network Card for $55, does it work? (modified 0 times) GregBert I think the SKU # is correct. I got one last night and it has no dongle. I had a little trouble finding it. It was marked something like $34.95 on the aisle, but it showed as $19.99 in the computer. gk 02-09-2001 16:05:01

RE:CF Network Card for $55, does it work? (modified 0 times) xterra2000 Thanks again. I found out that both cards have the same SKU. Finally I got the dongle-free card. Thanks. It was great, $20 is a great deal. 02-09-2001 22:28:40
