What Is a PC Card?

CAUTION: To prevent loss of support for some PC Cards, do not install
Ä
all of the software or any of the enablers provided by a single PC Card
manufacturer. If you are instructed by the documentation included with
a PC Card to install device drivers:
■ Install only the device drivers for your operating system.

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). PC Cards can be used
to add modem, sound, storage, wireless communication, or digital
camera functions to the notebook.
The notebook PC Card slot supports one Type I or Type II 32-bit
(CardBus) or 16-bit PC Card.
The notebook PC Card slot can also be used to store an optional
remote control. For instructions, refer to the information included
with the remote control.
