Two questions:

1) The "Farallon PC Card" that came with my card is identified as version
1.0, from the "Farallon EN Installer 2.2.1", and is 13,951 bytes long. 
The one on your web site is also identified as version 1.0, and as being
from the 2.2.1 installer, but it's 19,087 bytes long.  What is the
difference between these files?

2) Farallon's PC cards appear to be OEM versions of the 3COM EtherLink III
PC card.  Do Farallon's Mac drivers let you use a 3COM card in a
PowerBook?

Thanks.
