Reply With QuoteBest bet is to try and get a s/h one off ebay, TBH 98 is long since obsolete and the support for USB on 98 was a bit patchy. I think you'd have more chance in getting an old PCMCIA wireless adapter like an old d-link 11a type, that should be fine.
Problem setting up laptop for EchoLink
Hi all, Just returned to AR after 15 years - trying to get my old laptop up on EchoLink but dont have a USB port to plug in my Internet Cable Wireless adaptor, so I bought a RITMO PCMCIA 4 x USB 480M Card but cant get it to work.
My laptop is an early "FIRST LITE" NoteBook Model: 6200AT with SGVA, 20xCD Rom Drive, 6.8GB Hard drive, 3 x PCMCIA slots, and is running Windows 98.
When I plug in the RITMO PCMCIA Card Win98 doesnt see it.
I have tried to find without success a driver on the internet for this 4 x USB port Card for Win98 after the seller went back on his promise to supply the driver with this Card.
Can anyone suggest where i can find a driver for this Card suitable for Win98 that works ?
I dont wish to replace this notebook as it runs SSTV and Log Programs quote well so if I can get the USB Card to work then it will also run EchoLink.
Thanks all for any help

Win 98 never really supported USB very well, you might get it to work, if you're lucky...
Try a search on driverguide.com, you'll need to create an account, but they usually have everything.
