IOXperts 802.11b Driver 1.0.3 for Mac OS 8-9

Mon Nov 24 21:06:51 GMT 2003

Hi All,

Just a heads-up that we've posted 1.0.3 for Mac OS 8-9 ftp servers -- 
this also includes support for some PCI cards. Below is a copy of the 
press release that will go out tomorrow.

   <http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b.html>

We're going to hold the Mac OS X 1.0.3 release for a few days to 
clear up a few final issues with Panther, but it should be out later 
in the week -- please look for an updated beta in the next day or two.

If you know of nay remaining issues, now is your last chance...

Thanks,

-Steve

IOXperts RELEASES VERSION 1.03 OF 802.11b DRIVER FOR MAC OS 8-9

IOXperts has released version 1.03 of its 802.11b drivers for Mac OS 
8-9. This latest release synchs up driver functionality with the Mac 
OS X version, and includes bug fixes, updates to keep pace with 
Apple's firmware updates to the AirPort and AirPort Extreme, and 
added support for a number of PCI adapters.

The driver supports more than 60 different 802.11b wireless 
networking cards on PowerBooks equipped with PC Card slots and a 
dozen PCI adapters.

This is the way to bring older Macs into the wireless networks that 
are becoming standard in homes and businesses. A number of IOXperts 
customers are also using the driver with PC cards to get better range 
with their titanium PowerBook laptops.

The IOXperts 802.11b drivers support AppleTalk (with an 
AppleTalk-compatible base station), 64- and 128-bit WEP, AirPort 
password algorithm, and listing of available networks.

Version 1.03 of the IOXperts 802.11b Driver for Mac OS X will be 
released soon. IOXperts encourages anyone who wants to stay posted on 
upcoming beta releases to join the wireless-beta mailing list. 
Details are at <http://www.ioxperts.com/contact.html>.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

Pricing is USD $19.95 for use with a single wireless card under both 
Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.

Demo versions of the 802.11b drivers may be downloaded from the 
IOXperts web site:

For Mac OS X:  <http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b_X.html>
For Mac OS 8-9: <http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b.html>.

In demo mode, the driver is fully functional and will run for 30 
minutes at a time. Rebooting is required to get another 30 minutes.

Each license is tied to the MAC address of the card registered and 
may be used (with that card) on multiple computers with both the Mac 
OS 9 and Mac OS X versions of the driver. Existing Mac OS 9 customers 
should simply enter their current serial number to unlock the Mac OS 
X driver.
