Order Numbers
The order numbers for memory cards are listed at the end of this chapter with the
technical specifications.

The memory card is slightly larger than a credit card and protected by a strong
metal casing. It is plugged into a receptacle at the front of the CPU; the end to be
inserted is obvious from the design of the memory card.
