PC Cards (PCMCIA) are credit card–sized options that you can
quickly insert to perform various tasks and remove when not
needed. A few of the PC Card options available are fax/modems,
network cards, hard drives, and memory.
PC Cards are available in three types: Type I, Type II, and
Type III. They are all about the same length and width, but
vary in thickness. Type III is the thickest, at less than one-half
inch (10.5 mm).
Supported PC Cards
The computer has two PC Card slots that support CardBus/32-bit
and 16-bit PC Cards. Two Type I and/or Type II cards are
supported, or one Type III or Zoomed Video card is supported.
A Type III or Zoomed Video card is supported in the bottom slot
only. A telephony card is supported in the top slot only.
NOTE:
The Compaq PC Card Solutions List includes compatible
CardBus and Zoomed Video cards and the operating systems with
which those cards work.
