Before you get too excited, there's a few problems w/ that PB1400.
1) Some of the CDROM drives (IIRC, the 8X ones) won't let you install
from the CD.
2) PCMCIA support for those does not exist yet, so what NIC to buy is a
moot point. You're limited to using the serial port.
3) I don't believe the PB1400 can use yaboot, so you're going to need a
small HFS partition for a minimum MacOS.
You might want to subscribe to the LinuxPPC on NuBus Macs list. Check
out <http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net> for more info. Some people there
have been talking about writing a PCMCIA driver.
HTH.

Subject: powerbook 1400c NIC
Hello,
New to this list and Yellow Dog. I just got a PowerBook 1400c. It has
no
nic. I plan to ditch mac OS and put YD on it. Problem is that I need a
nic. Which one should I buy. Can I use a standard NIC in it or do I
need
something for macs. I would rather spend as little as possible. Is a
standard 3com ok or a Linksys. Any help would help.
Best regards,
Andrew Judge
