Anyone aware or used successfully the AirMac Extreme A1029 card as compatible hardware with PPC G4 or G5 hardware?

I've owned the A1027 and the A1026 cards, but they are named AirPort Extreme.

So, is the hardware different/incompatible in the A1029 card hardware?

They are dated as manufactured in 2003, which is still within the PPC G4/G5 hardware manufacturing era.

According to this source, Apple marketed the AirPort hardware as 'AirMac' in Japan. No idea regarding the number/chipset, though.

@ Andreas_Wolf - thanks for the link/info, though that doesn't offer any compatibility corroboration, or links to any definitive compatibility information for PPC hardware, as such, but it is helpful anyway.

Yes, I was just explaining the "AirPort" vs. "AirMac" naming inconsistency.

@ Andreas_Wolf - yes, I got your inference of the naming being inconsistent in the first comment you made about it with your links, but the AirMac Extreme's (A1029) compatibility is what I was most interested in finding out - which isn't directly mentioned or any detail of the chipset used on the card, which was the reason for my comments.

Just 1, actually :-P

@NewSense:

But you do have an actual A1029 to test or did you just wonder if it's worth buying one?

@ koszer - I wondered if it was worth buying one?
