PC Card
The computer is equipped with a single PC Card slot that can accommodate
a Type II format card. Any PC Card that meets industry standards, either
manufactured by TOSHIBA or another vendor, can be installed as the slot
supports 16-bit PC Cards and 32-bit CardBus cards. For reference,
CardBus supports the newer standard of 32-bit PC Cards and provides
superior performance for the greater demands of applications such as
multimedia data transmission.
PC Cards can sometimes become hot during computer operation.
Before you remove a PC Card always wait for it to cool. You could get
burned removing a hot PC Card.
Inserting a PC Card
The Windows hot-install feature allows you to insert PC Cards while the
computer is turned on.
Do not insert a PC Card while the computer is in Sleep Mode or
Hibernation Mode as you may find that some cards do not work properly.
