Adding and 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 computer supports both 32-bit CardBus cards and 16-bit PC Cards.

PC Cards are classified as Type I, Type II, or Type III. The three types are about the same length and width, but vary in thickness.

Configuring a PC Card

ÄCAUTION: If you install software or enablers provided by a PC Card manufacturer, you may not be able to use other PC Cards. If you are instructed by the documentation that comes with your PC Card to install device drivers:

■Install only the device drives for your operating system.

■Do not install card services, socket services, or enablers.

In Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 Professional, the operating system configures plug-and-play PC Cards.

In Windows NT 4.0 with CardWare provided by Compaq, you can configure a PC Card in the CardWare window:
