    At smc.com there is a link for pre-sales questions. You could send them
    a mail and inquire about AppleTalk. I am pretty sure it does do it
    though, I was pretty thorough in my search.

    macwireless.com has 802.11 cards.
    Orinoco makes wireless cards.

    I use Apple's Airport card in my Pismo.
