DaveK I've used these wireless network adapters successfully on original Windows 98: USB: Netgear MA101 Cardbus: Netgear MA401, Microsoft MN-520, SMC 2635W The SMC 2635W installation program says that the card won't work, but it installed and worked successfully in my tests. According to their web pages, these adapters should work on original Windows 98, too: USB: Netgear MA111 Cardbus: Orinoco Classic Gold PC Card PCI: Netgear MA311, Orinoco 11b -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
