YD3.0 Wireless Inoperative

[Andrew McVinnie]

Hi George,

If youu have a regualr airport card, 802.11b, the How-To fir YDL will 
work in setting up your YDL 3.0 for airport.

If you have a 12" PowerBook, and it has an Airport card, then you DO 
have an Airport Extreme card. It is impossible to put an older card in 
tot the 12" PB.  therefore, if you have YDL 3 on a PowerBook 12" you 
can not use wireless. (Or at least I have not figured it out, nor does 
there seem to be any discussion of the matter other than YDL listing 
Extreme as not supported on their hardware pages).
