Very nice find! The rev C version you have will work with wireless cards, if that's your goal. The Proxim Skyline series and equivalent Farallon work in Mac OS 8.1/68k, PPC not required. There was an 802.11a version and an 802.11b version, and (at least the one I have) is single height all the way down the protruding part, leaving the other slot fully free.

Thanks for the tip @jeremywork. Much appreciated. Finding a wireless card that I can use is definitely on the list.
