There's the option of networking an old computer that the radio-card
works in to the new computer he's building. There's always the scary
part of finding a newer motherboard with an ISA slot in which the
radio-card won't work in. Like an older scanner I had with a
proprietary ISA card that worked in my old Soyo ETEQ K6-2 in winos2 but
not in the VIA duron 1.3. It worked out well though, got me to get an
EpsonPerfection 2400 photo that works great with Tame/2 in native OS/2!
Haven't yet tried to get it working on this P4 annoyance though (plenty
of other problems).
