PC Card Slots
There are two type II/I or one type III CardBus PC Card slots found on the right panel of the computer. These slots accept credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability and expandability of the computer.
PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers, giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs. Popular type II cards include flash memory, SRAM, fax/data modem, LAN and SCSI cards. Common type III cards are 1.8-inch ATA drives and cellular modems. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card technology by expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits.
ZV (Zoomed Video) port support allows your computer to support hardware MPEG in the form of a ZV PC card.
