Hi Thorn,

Thanks for the fast reply and good info. The one detail I left out is that the unit needs to be USB as only one laptop has a pcmcia slot.

On Ebay I see both Gold and Silver Orinoco cards in a USB configuration. They are just those pcmcia cards set up to use a USB port or so one of the sellers says.

Is that true and if so can you still add an external antenna?

Is there any major difference between Gold and Silver?

Thanks again for your help,

Monte Stark
