Using PC Cards
Your computer has a PC card slot.
PC cards are credit card-sized peripheral products based on the
standards developed by PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association). PCMCIA is a non-profit association for
promoting the interchangeability among mobile computers where
ruggedness, low power, and small size are critical. Ever since its
foundation, the association has been continuing their efforts to add new
specifications to the PC card standard as new needs arise in the market.
PC Card Type
Your computer?s PC card slot can accommodate a type II card. Typical
type II cards are flash memory, SRAM, modem, LAN, and SCSI cards.
CardBus Support

CardBus is the 32-bit version of PC card technology. It allows speeds of
up to 133 Mbps at 33 MHz. Typical applications are SCSI host bus and
high-speed network cards.
