Adding and Using PC Cards

A PC Card is a credit card-sized accessory designed to conform
to the standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory
Card International Association (PCMCIA). The computer
supports both 32-bit CardBus cards and 16-bit PC Cards.
PC Cards are classified as Type I, Type II, or Type III. The three
types are about the same length and width, but vary in thickness.
