I have been trying to find this card from an online retailer in the UK. But none appears to stock them.

I think this is the model that Martin refers to.

I would be grateful to know if any other users of the forum know where I can get this in the UK.

Hi

I picked mine up on Ebay - it wasn't expensive, but I had to wait for a while until one popped up (that I wasn't outbid on)

There are two versions of the card - a normal one and a slim one. Both cards work in the psion but the slim one doesn't block the pen release and is therefore better (this is the one that I have).

No-one as far as I know sells the card new anymore - even places like CEX didn't have them when I was searching.

Hope this is useful

Thank you for confirming this.

I guess I will have try another brand. Looking at http://www.epocfaq.co.uk/faqNetworks.htm, the following seems to be a compatible type of card and more generally available.

Proxim - 8410-EU - 11Mbps Wireless Orinoco Classic Gold Laptop Card
(aka Lucent/Orinoco/Avaya)

Hi Victor,

I'm a Psioncollector from the Netherlands. For my hobby I also try to get my collecting complete with add-ons like these WiFi cards. In the past few moths I have gathered very different brands. The one mentioned here (Buffalo) I bought just recently on Ebay, after looking for it for about 3-6 months! Only wanted it because of NOT-blocking the stylus!

Since I have quiet a collection allready, I'm now selling my spare WiFi cards.

WEP encryption enabled:
Compaq WL110 (rebranded Orinoco GOLD) Used but like new!
Orinoco Gold (With Blue, Purple or Blank frontlabel) BRANDNEW!!

No WEP encryption:
Lucent Technologies Wavelan

Also have some extra equipment:
Compaq WL310 Access point (with WL110) Used but like new!
Orinoco Gold USB Client (with Gold card) BRANDNEW!!
Orinoco Gold AP-500 WiFi Access Point (with Gold card) BRANDNEW!!

All WiFi cards are tested by myself and working great in the Psion netBook (EPOC).

If you, or anyone else is interested, just drop me an email!

Many Psiongreetings,
