Oh ya, There are many 16 bit cards out there for wired and Wi-Fi. I have a "Enterasys" 16 bit Wi-Fi card that works well in my home network and also out in the field. Most any 16 bit card will work as long as there is a driver for WIN98. Check out FleaBay.

You will only find 'B' cards in 16 bit and the 365 does not have USB.

The prices for those two items sound about right. Now if you come up with a bigger hard drive-----I have a 6.4GB in mine but I'm not sure how much bigger it will handle. I also have rebuilt the main battery with new NiMh cells and get around 2 hours out of it.
