[QUOTE="Tuppy, post: 1887546, member: 408224"] Well, so far today, aside from MacPalace, I've tried Macsology, Power Mac Parts, UsedMacsUS, Bookyard.com, and MacParts online. All of them advertise Runway Cards, but none have any in stock, nor do they expect to get any (the three whose phone numbers I've called). These Runway Cards appear to be rare items, and priced accordingly: $60 - $100. As to USB methods of getting wifi, I have a little gadget that I've had for a few years with an antenna that plugs into any of the G5's USB ports, with a related app called NewerTech Wireless Utility. Sometimes the G5 can get onto our home wifi network with it, and thence onto the Internet, but more often it won't, and even when it does the connection often suddenly breaks. So it's frustrating and unstable and I quit using it. However, all the newer USB plug-in wifi devices that I've looked at so far either work with only with Windows, or if they do support Mac OS, they require a later version than 10.5 Leopard, which is what I'm running in the G5 in order to run the software I need. So, I guess I've got two searches going now: one for a G5 Runway Card and, another for a USB wifi device that will work with Mac OS Leopard. No luck with either one so far. [/QUOTE]
