4.11 PCMCIA Controller

The PCMCIA controller of the notebook is implemented on the motherboard using the O2Micro OZ6912 CardBus Controller. The M295/296 notebook only supports single PCMCIA slot for PCI-Cardbus Bridge.

CARDBUS CONTROLLERS

The OZ6912 is an ACPI and PC98/99 logo certified high performance, single slot PC Card controller with a synchronous 32-bit bus master/target PCI interface. This PC Card to PCI bridge host controller is compliant with the 2000 PC Card Standard. This standard incorporates the new 32-bit CardBus while retaining the 16-bit PC Card specification as defined by PCMCIA release 2.1. CardBus is intended to support "temporal" add-in functions on PC Cards, such as Memory cards, Network interfaces, FAX/Modems and other wireless communication cards, etc. The high performance and capability of the CardBus interface will enable the new development of many new functions and applications.
