The OmniBook supports standard Type I, II, and III PC cards (PCMCIA and CardBus). You can use two thin cards or one thick card. The lower card slot supports Zoomed Video, which allows a zoomed video card to show high-quality multimedia presentations.

The OmniBook already includes Card Services and Socket Services, which automatically detect and set up PC cards you install in the upper and lower card slots. Different versions of this software will disrupt this support.
