What Are PC Cards?

PC Cards (formerly known as PCMCIA Cards) are removable devices that increase
the storage or communications capability of your computer. PC Cards come in
three different sizes: Type I, Type II, and Type III. PC Cards have the following
things in common:
2 standard bus sizes, 16-bit (PCMCIA) or 32-bit (CardBus)
68-pin connectors
approximately the same size as a credit card, but differences in thickness
PC Cards are easy to install. Other issues, however, especially software
considerations, can impact your ability to use them effectively.
The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) was
formed in 1989 to set industry standards for the use of PC Card technology.
PCMCIA represents more than 500 companies in the computer industry. As a
member of PCMCIA's Board of Directors and Executive Committee, Compaq is a
driving force in the PC Card industry.
