Epod LAN card

Wednesday, 28 February 2001

This excellent article (with photos) shows how to install a PCMCIA LAN card INSIDE your epod... "I have an intense dislike for dongles, and personally use a Xircom Realport Type II PCMCIA card in my laptop because it's got integrated jacks for Ethernet and modem.

This is not possible with the ePods because type II cards will not fit in the single Type III slot provided with the ePods, so it was time to dismantle that bad boy and integrate a jack that's not only sturdier, but prevents you from losing your dongle altogether.

Doing this is certainly reversible (unless you screw up your PCMCIA pins, but you won't if you're not totally reckless), but requires dismantling your ePods again."
