Maybe. It depends on the board, really, but it's worth a shot. You can buy a new board at any technology place, but I could also toss one in the mail for you, it'd be cheap. As far as the network, it depends on what Mac you have. Most have built-in networking easily available, and it's just a matter of getting a switch or a hub and some wires. Older Macs might need a few other things to make them go, but in general, most can get on a network easily.

I have a PC tower that has a broken monitor port. Is there another way to connect the monitor to the tower without going directly into the port? What would I need to create a PC- Mac network? Is it possible to do that? Let me know if you can help, then you can bipass ebay on some things. I am trying to do two things and you might have some treasures in your piles that might help.
