I need a wireless adaptor for Windows 98, i do not have 98SE or newer OS,?
I am searching ebay and the web for a wireles PCI card, sometimes called PCI adaptors or Lan card so my older computer can surf a wireless network. Its a windows 98 operating system, so I'm looking for a product that works with this operating system.
I've been looking for a while, and most of the products are only for "Windows 98SE, ME, or 2000 or XT." So they do not work.
My computer only has Windows 98 and is I guess at least 266mhz.
One card that sort of looks OK is the XTERASYS 802.11b Wireless PCI Ethernet Adapter Model XN-2511b. It says Windows 98,/2000/ME/XP, on its websight (However, some products are not specifically labled and still only work with 98 SE. I've noticed a lot of variability in the secifications of different products)
Sionce on the smae website there is another XTERASYS model that does specify Windows 98SE, so I am hoping that they are specific and exact in their description of the XN-2511b
Does any one know if this XN-2511b model will work as stated with windows 98, or of other models by netgrear or Delink or some manufacturer that will work for this computer.
