Using a zoom video PC Card
The lower PC Card slot in the PowerBook 3400 series computer has circuitry for handling video signals, called “zoom video.” Some independent manufacturers offer PC Cards to which you can provide a video signal or which allow you to connect a video camera. The zoom video PC Card is a Type II card; it can only be used in the lower slot (because the special circuitry needed for video signals is located in that slot).
With a zoom video card in the lower PC Card slot, the PowerBook can display video on the computer’s screen or on an external monitor. Video signals are sent directly to the video controller, so that the computer can display full- motion video while performing other tasks at the same time.
If you purchase a zoom video PC Card, be sure that it has software that works with your PowerBook.
Using a PC Card modem
When you are using a PC Card modem, make sure you do the following:
1Install the communications software you want to use, as well as any software that came with your modem.
PC Card modems work with your communications software by providing compatibility with a feature of your Macintosh PowerBook’s software called the Communications Toolbox.
