Pc Card Supporting Software; Inserting Pc Cards - Toshiba Satellite 1750 User Manual

Type III cards are used for removable hard disks and other
functions that require a larger card. You can install just one of
these cards.
Check the documentation that came with the PC Card to see if it
conforms to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard, or later. Other cards may
work with your computer, but are likely to be much more difficult
to set up and use.

PC Card supporting software

PC Cards require Card and Socket Services software — a set of
programs that acts as a translator between the PC Card and the
computer, and that makes hot swapping (switching cards while the
computer is on) possible.
Windows Millennium Edition provides the Card and Socket
Services for your PC Card. Even if your PC Card comes with its
own version of Card and Socket Services, you should use the files
included in Windows Millennium Edition.

Inserting PC Cards

TECHNICAL NOTE: Some PC Cards don't support hot
swapping. Refer to your PC Card's manual for verification.
1 If your PC Card does not support hot swapping, save your
data and turn off the computer before inserting the PC Card.
