PCMCIA Cards

Your notebook is equipped with two PCMCIA slots which can accommodate two
Type II or one Type III card conforming to the standards of the PCMCIA (Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association). The slots accept a variety of
PCMCIA cards. Some examples of PCMCIA cards are:
Fax/Modem Card A device that connects the notebook to the telephone line for
use as a fax and/or a modem (although one is already built in).
Network Interface Card A device that connects the notebook to a local area
network (LAN).
SCSI Interface Card A device that enables you to connect SCSI devices such as
MO drives, CD-ROM drives and scanners to your notebook through a SCSI
connector on the SCSI card.
Sound Card A device for sound recording and playback features (although one is
already built in).
ATA Device An AT Attachment, rotating or solid-state mass-storage device that
works like an IDE hard disk drive. An ATA device does not require an external
power source to maintain data when removed from the notebook's PCMCIA slot.
SRAM Memory Card A static RAM memory device that can be formatted as a
diskette, with a write-protect switch on the edge of the card. An on-card battery
maintains the data when it is removed from the notebook's PCMCIA slot.
