Most ethernet adapters draw more power than the palmtop can provide. An exception is a card made by Silicom Connectivity Solutions (800 474-5426 or 206 882-7995) which was designed with the palmtops in mind. The Socket Communications and Xircom ethernet adapters are reported to come close to working, though there are problems getting the supplied drivers to work on the 100/200LX.

There is a special card (made by Silicom) that is designed specifically for the 200LX. There are also drivers available for Accton PCMCIA cards. Ironically, the Silicom card is incompatible with the double-speed palmtop, but the Accton cards will work in either speed configuration.
