PC Cards

You can expand your computer’s capabilities using the PC Card slot. You can connect hard drives, compact Flash card readers, and more. Your PowerBook has one PC Card slot that accepts Type I and Type II PCMCIA cards, including CardBus-format cards.

You can insert a PC Card when your computer is on, off, or in sleep.

Important: The Apple AirPort Extreme Card is installed in a slot inside the computer.

It doesn’t go in the PC Card slot the way many third-party wireless cards do. The AirPort Extreme Card will not work if it is installed in the PC Card slot and will cause your computer to function improperly.
