Melco is the European marketed version, Buffalo is the State-side version.
They are the same card marketed by different companies for the different
markets. Depends where you are as to which you would search for. Since I'm
in the States, I have the Buffalo and love it.

Hi Morgan,
I have one of the Buffalo cards and I've seen photo's of the Melco and they
look identical apart from the labels obviously. The Buffalo works fine with
Horishi's driver so I suspect your suspicions about the Melco being a
Japanese OEM are correct just as the Elsa Air Lancer is a European OEM of
the same card.
And of course they all stem from the same Lucent Orinoco tree anyway:)
Now if any list member has one of the Elsa Air Lancer or Melco cards
mentioned above and would be willing to part with it I would be skeriously
interested in adding it to my newton wireless card collection which
currently stands at 27 different cards and growing
weekly:)
Replies off list please.
regards
Andrew
