Is it possible to test a wireless Airport card for a Mac on Windows? I got a bunch of them in a load of iMacs and no idea if they work but would be cheap shipping if they did.

They may or may not work with Windows. The end user would have to find a driver to make them work, where as Mac OS 9 and OS X already contain the needed software. You would do better selling them as an original Apple/Mac wifi card. The market for them is still very good, as Apple no longer sells them. Average price for a Gen 1 Apple Airport card ranges from $10 to $30. Or...you could just give them to me...:)
If this helps the airport Airports use a Broadcom chipset, with a bit of tinkering will run in Linux.
I guess you got them macs.......Send me a PM and tell me bout itQuote:

Thanks, DiamondN. I'll check that.
They're all iBooks and G4's (2001 - 5). So far I got 57 (more today). Tried selling to a local laptop buyer. He didn't even want them. Apparently, he buys to repair and resell.
Put em on craigslist..........The last Ibook I had sold for 30...........it booted up and thats all I knew bout it..........I have sold every Ibook I ever got (they are sought after for some reason)Quote:
