By￿installing￿PC￿Cards,￿you￿can￿add￿functions￿to￿your￿portable￿ computer￿similar￿to￿those￿found￿on￿add-in￿boards￿for￿desktop￿computers.￿Available￿PC￿Cards￿include:

￿ Input/output,￿such￿as￿modem,￿network,￿pager,￿video￿capture,￿ and￿SCSI￿cards.￿Storage,￿such￿as￿hard￿drive￿cards.￿Combo￿cards,￿such￿as￿a￿combination￿modem￿and￿network￿card.Your￿computer￿includes￿the￿following￿PC￿Card￿support:

￿ Two￿PC-Card￿slots:￿You￿can￿install￿Type￿I,￿II,￿or￿III￿cards￿in￿the￿slots.￿Type￿III￿cards￿are￿thicker￿than￿Types￿I￿and￿II.￿If￿you￿ install￿a￿Type￿III￿card￿in￿the￿bottom￿slot,￿you￿cannot￿install￿a￿ card￿in￿the￿top￿slot.

￿ CardBus￿hardware￿and￿software:￿CardBus￿enables￿the￿ computer￿to￿use￿32-bit￿PC￿Cards.￿Windows￿98￿supports￿32-bit￿and￿16-bit￿PC￿Cards.￿The￿SystemSoft®￿CardWizard™￿for￿ Windows￿NT￿program,￿provided￿with￿systems￿that￿ship￿from￿ the￿factory￿with￿Windows￿NT￿installed,￿also￿supports￿both￿16- bit￿and￿32-bit￿cards.
