One of the real reasons I wanted a netbook was to be able to play around a bit with some things I would not normally get to do on a daily machine. A key goal is to get OSX installed and running so I’ve got a netbook hackintosh system going. So far I do actually have OSX installed and running along with Windows 7 and XP though the standard hardware inside the Samsung NC10
Tonight I remembered that I had a spare Airport Extreme in the house and thinking the card inside might work in the NC10 I ran to get it along with some tools …
The Airport Extreme open and card removed …
I then took the back case off the NC10 to get to the good stuff …
Unfortunately it was pretty obvious right away that the card was quite a bit larger than the internal space available so I’ll have to try again with a known working option.
This was a fun project while everyone else in the house was sleeping. Hopefully I’ll be able to report back soon enough after a successful transplant.
