Types of PC Cards
PC Cards are credit card-sized options designed to conform to the
standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association (PCMCIA). Examples of PC Cards
include memory expansion cards, diskette drive cards, fax/modem
cards, and network interface cards. PC Cards are available in
various types that indicate the thickness of the card. There are
three PC Card types set by the PCMCIA:
1 Type I 3.3 mm
2 Type II 5.0 mm
3 Type III 10.5 mm
Type II and Type III PC Cards also come in extended PC Cards.
