Figure 2.3 - Example PCMCIA Type II Peripheral
PCMCIA cards are typically provided with software drivers from the manufacturer. These should allow
the peripheral to operate with most computers. However, because PCMCIA is a fairly new standard,
compatibility problems can exist from card-to-card and computer-to-computer. Horner APG is testing a
variety of PCMCIA peripherals. Contact Horner APG's Technical Support Department for a list of tested
PCMCIA cards.
2.3.1 Installing the PC Card
Horner APG has successfully tested and installed a 3Com™ Etherlink™ III PCMCIA. See Appendix D,
"Steps Taken for PC Card Installation", for documented procedures on installing a 3Com™ Etherlink™ III
PCMCIA.
The physical installation of the PC Card is simple. The socket is located on the PC CPU's secondary
board at the bottom left (if looking at the PC CPU from the front). The PCMCIA socket is shown in figure
2.4. The "top" of the PC Card should face toward the power supply. When properly inserted, the PC
Card should fit snugly in the PCMCIA socket.
