    If you have a pci slot free you can try any cheep pc card which is supported
    by linux.

    http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/6400.shtml shows that you have two slots.

    Maybe you can borrow a card and look if the kernel supports these chip.
    Or you must compile your own kernel.

    Bye Chris.
