Thanks to Juan for finding this info. The best info on this type of harder install is always what we discover when trying:
You must, as always, activate the Sierra card first on a Windows based computer. You need a PowerBook G4 (or G3 with PCMCIA slot), OSX version 10.4 or higher. You can check the version by click on the apple in the very top left corner and choosing "About this Mac". If it is a lower version, plug the computer into an ethernet connection or use wifi to downloaded the latest version. On the same pop up where your version whos, you can choosed "Updates". It might take a while depending on what version the Mac is running, so be prepared to do something else if needed. You can also update the software by click on the harddrive icon on the desktop. Go to Applications>System Preferences. Open that and choose Software Update>Check Now.
Download to the Mac, "Watcher Lite for Sierra Wireless". This software works for 975, 860, 850, 775, 595, 580 and MP series AirCards.
Watcher Lite should start automatically. Plunk in the AirCard and begin install on the Mac. If you can install with the regular Sprint connection manager, this one will be cake.
Interestingly enough, the instructions also tell you not to put any stickers onto the Aircard, so control yourself and no smileys :)
