Using PC Cards

You may insert one Type I card or one Type II card into the computer’s PC Card slot. This slot contains a spacekeeper insert to keep dust and dirt out of the computer. If you are not using a PC Card, leave the insert in place. If you are using a PC Card, remove the insert and keep it in a safe place for future use.

PC Cards are credit-card sized expansion cards that greatly increase the capabilities of your computer.

Some PC Cards combine several functions. Multifunction cards allow you to get the most out of your PC Card slot.

Most PC Cards conform to the PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) standard.

TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check the package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard (or later). Other cards may work with your computer, but they are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use.
