powerbook antenna connector

I have an apple powerbook and I opened it up to find the antenna connector that would connect to the airport card...I need to know what kind of pigtail I would use to connect on to the powerbook. I've tried finding this info on other sites but have come up empty. Does anyone know what I need? I'm mainly trying to get the connector to hook up a cantenna.

Thanks

Got a digital camera? Take a photo and upload it here (make sure its 50k or less)

Also.. have you tried Apple?

If you can't get a picture then look for the FCC ID#. It should be on a sticker/label on the computer and on the card.

Same as the Orinoco, since that's what it is, the pins are slightly different for the airport card. That's the original airport card, not airport extreme. www.fab-corp.com has pigtails and antennas specifically set up for both.

Does anyone use this pigtail with their Airport Extreme? What kind of case mods would I have to drill in an iBook to make it happen?

There aren't too many mac folks here, even less that have modded their powerbooks. If fab-corp says it works with the extreme card it will. You'll have to expand on your iBook though. There have been 16 different models, though only 4 that have had extreme cards.
