Using PC Card Sockets
The Notebook provides system expansion capabilities with two PC card sockets
(previously referred to as PCMCIA). PC cards to be inserted can be LAN,
fax/modem, communication devices, or expanded memory. Both sockets
support 3.3V 32-bit PC cards, referred to as CardBus. The CardBus sockets are
backward compatible with 5V 16-bit PC cards. There are three types of PC
cards. Type I measures 3.3mm thick; Type II 5.0mm; and Type III 10.5mm.
The PC card sockets accommodate one Type III card or two Type II cards and
the lower socket named Socket A is capable of ZV (Zoomed Video), which
allows a direct connection between a PC card and video devices that enables
high quality video playback.
