Selecting a PC Card Slot
PC Cards are classified as Type I, Type II, and Type III. The
three types are about the same length and width, but vary in
thickness. Type III cards are the thickest, at less than
one-half inch (10.5 mm).
The desktop expansion base has two PC Card slots. These slots
are
not
identical.
■
Type I and Type II PC Cards are supported in the top and
bottom PC Card slots singly or in any combination.
■
A Compaq telephony card is supported only in the
top
slot.
■
A Type III or Zoomed Video PC Card is supported only in the
bottom
PC Card slot. No other PC Card can be used in the top
slot when a Type III PC Card occupies the bottom slot.
