PRP PCMCIA Card Slots and Status LEDs

Two PCMCIA card slots (slot 0 and slot 1) provide the PRP with additional flash memory capacity. All combinations of different flash devices are supported by the PRP. You can use ATA flash disks, Type 1 or Type 2 linear flash memory cards, or a combination of the two.

Note The PRP only supports +5.2 VDC flash memory devices. It does not support +3.3 VDC PCMCIA devices.

Status LEDs (Slot-0 / Slot-1) indicate when the flash memory card in that slot is accessed (see Figure 1-2). Each slot has an eject button (located behind the cover) to remove a flash card from the slot.
