Is it possible though to set up a simple connection to my network with epod with either:
 1) two cards, one in a PCI slot adaptor & one in the epod
 
<<Yes ... as a peer to peer network just as you would with two network cards linked together.>>
 
  2) One card in the epod and one USB Client 
 
<<I would assume so...>> 
 
Also wher it says
QUOTE "The ORiNOCO PCI adapter is ideal for PC99 compliant PCs (PCI slots only machines) or PCs that have BIOS supporting PCI 2.2 or higher. For PCs with an ISA slot, the ORiNOCO ISA adapter is strongly advised.
Does this mean what it says or can you happily put a PCI card in a PC that also has ISA slots
 
<<Yes ... a PCI carrier card should work happily in a machine that has both types of slot however as the card is only 11Mbits then you might be better "saving" your PCI slots for devices that need the greater throughput in that case. Anyway, putting a wireless card in a desktop type machine (whether a desktop case or a tower type case is irrelevent) as large chunks of metal do shield signals effectively and so you may find that the wireless cards don't work to well in a "proper" PC on one of the carrier cards without an external aerial.>>
