A Question for the Apple Mac Users

[AB4BF]

I have inherited from my daughter an Apple PowerBook G4 with a 12 inch DVI, Order # M9007LL/A. It was purchased without the Airport Extreme wireless card. After figuring out how to boot this thing (I know nothing about Apples - Nothing) I think it would do nicely to browse the internet while I watch TV and convalecsce.

I ordered from Amazon a Panda 150Mbps Wireless adapter for about 13 bucks as opposed to a Airport card at 60 bucks. I tried to install drivers but I get an error code of 95. The USB wireless adapter stated it was compatable with this powerbook and software which is Mac OSX. Googling error 95 shows it can't mount a file (?). What do I need to do?

After plugging in the WA, my wireless router shows it recieving a signal, but without the drivers I don't believe it will communicate.

Thanks,
Barry

I am sure you already have this fixed, but go to the Panda wireless adapter website and download the latest driver for your computer. If you are still having trouble I am sure the support people will help.

I dont think panda makes a power pc driver for your mac g4. most likely it is a not a universal binary and intel mac only. You can get a airport card really cheap on ebay. If you want i can redo you mac to an OUT OF THE BOX state. I have been fixing mac's for over 20 years. Just pay the shipping both ways. and i have a ton of refs on here.

Let me know.

any adapter will work as long as it says it includes QSX drivers. Many do. Sounds like yours did not.

Panda WIfi adapter works with Mac. I have bought one for my old Mac running 10.4.
You can download the Mac installer from Panda Wifi N USB Adapters.
Please contact their technical support if you have any installation problem.
