The Apple eMate 300 (a Newton clamshell released in 1997, when I was 16. For some reason, though I lived in Italy, I became obsessed by the device.

Finally, when I turned 32 (16*2), I bought myself one off eBay and set one up as a SSH console with a WiFi card. I enjoy the experience immensely.

Dropping little apocryphal information here:

Basically all 16-bit ISA PC Card(w/o bumped golden shield) can only handle WEP and 802.11b.

32-bit PCI CardBus card does WPA/WPA2 and 11g.

CF cards don’t seem to be bound by this but I haven’t tested.
