Using PC Cards
A PC Card is a credit card-sized accessory designed to conform
to the standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory
Card International Association (PCMCIA). The notebook
supports both 32-bit CardBus and 16-bit PC Cards.
Selecting a PC Card Slot
PC Cards are classified as Type I, Type II, and Type III.
The 3 types are about the same length and width, but vary in
thickness.
■ Type I and Type II PC Cards can be used alone in the top or
bottom PC Card slot or in any combination.
■ A Type III PC Card can be used only in the bottom
PC Card slot.
■ Zoomed video PC Cards are not supported in either slot.
