[Coco] Off Topic - PCMCIA Wireless Card

[Steve Ostrom]

To Tom and the others that offered assistance, I found on eBay a 16-bit type 
II wireless PCMCIA card called Orinoco Classic Gold.  It is supposed to be 
compatible with Windows CE, and comes with a CD of drivers.  I'll give this 
one a try since it was one of the cards mentioned in on-line help forums 
back in about 2002.  If I have problems, I won't be bashful about asking for 
more help.  This should be fun.
