IBM Thinkpad 365XD WIRELESS ?

#1 Post by realitychek1956 » Fri Oct 21, 2011 2:20 am

Greetings all.......this IBM 365XD (type 2625 DEE) laptop is old.....no usb ports. I did manage years ago to install Win98SE. It works great...but i'd like to go wireless. On the side are two slots for the PCMCIA cards. One slot currently has a Megahertz model XJ2288 modem card in it. Does anyone have suggestions as to a wireless card that will fit this laptop with this OS....? Thanks.

try searching ebay etc for an IBM HIGH RATE WIRELESS LAN PCMCIA CARD. (FRU 22P4592) I bought one for $5 on ebay and it works on win95 upwards. Haven't tried it with win 3.11 yet. Drivers are available from Lenovo website and so are installation instructions.

So any older 16bit wireless that has drivers for your OS should work.
