Ok, the Ambicom card doesn't show at all, but I found the following
at versiontracker...

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21902

This is a driver that supports a 3com PCMCIA BT card that FITS ENTIRELY
inside the powerbook!

This looks like it could be a super slick solution for the PB Ti...

The Driver linked to above is also open sourced, and suggested that
the Pico card MIGHT work, but it also specifically says that it won't
work with the Ambicom card, as there is no defined hardware spec for
interchangeability of bluetooth cards over PCMCIA.

Anyhow, this certainly appears to be a potential slick solution.

PS the read me from above driver is very informative.
