The Belkin F5D-6060 will work - and I recall that a member or two here has gotten the D-Link DCF-660W card to work as well - using the generic Prism 2.5 driver from here:

There are a couple of others that should work as well. Check the Hardware Compatibility List for more info:

You'll want to check this page as well, since the MC16 is a 360LX clone:

The ones I mentioned ARE Compact Flash WiFi cards. (I should know - I have both the Belkin F5D-6060 and the D-Link DCF-660W.) Check the symbols next to them in the HCL. (And if you still don't believe me, try a Google search to find pictures of them.)

Yes but i have never been able to find those for sale on online marketplaces (For example Ebay, Amazon). Those wifi cards are quite early. I might be able to search again, though. Thanks for your help.
