Bit of help from Mac Users (or anyone else)

Hi All

Just made the full time switch to Mac ...... I'm using a new MacBook ...... and how pleased I am !!

Have one problem that I would like to be able to occasionally use a 3G data card... does anyone know of any kind of adaptor that will enable the use of a PCMCIA card with a MacBook ie a USB adaptor of some kind ..... I have hunted high and low and cannot source anything.

Any ideas guys & girls

Cheers

Mark

Don't know of a USB to PCMCIA adaptor. How about using a bluetooth phone as the 'modem' to access the network?

Try this one

... it can be bought here.

Cheers for that will give it a go and let you know

Regards

Mark

Sorry can't help with the tech query, but pleased to hear you're enjoying the new Mac.

Actually persuaded work to make the move over to 3G phones .... so can ditch the datacard

One less gadget to carry in my bag when I go away !!

For you state-siders Verizon now offers a DingleBerry (BlackBerry) 7130e that offers the option to have speeds around 700 to 800 kps via a USB cord hooked up to the BlackBerry. Works like a charm and cheap.

Vodafone have announced they have a USB compatible 3G HSDPA data card, it's an integral device so no converter cable as with the device linked above.

Have a look here.
