Little Cards
That Do
Big Things
PCMCIA-compatible PC cards greatly increase the capabilities of
your computer. These cards pack all the performance of full-sized
expansion boards into a case the size of a credit card.
Your computer comes with one PC card slot that lets you take
advantage of these little cards. You can install up to two Type I
or Type II cards, or one Type III card. Type III cards, such as hard
disk drive PC Cards, require extra thickness. When you buy a PC
card, check the package for the Type of card you’re buying.
Your computer’s PC Card slots are Zoomed Video (ZV) Card
ready, allowing you to use PC Cards that comply with this
standard.
This chapter describes the different types of PC cards, tells you
how to install PC cards and provides general tips on using them.
Since each card is different, you'll have to read your cards' docu-
mentation to use the card, but this chapter will help you get started.
