Pc Cards; Type Ii Cards; Type Ii Extended Cards; Type Iii Cards - NEC VERSA LX Manual

PC Cards

PC cards are all approximately the same size and vary only in thickness.
All have a standard 68-pin connector. Your NEC Versa supports the
installation of the PC cards described next.

Type II Cards

Type II cards have a thickness of 5.0 millimeters (mm). Type II cards are
often storage or communication devices such as Static Random Access
Memory (SRAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Flash Memory, NIC,
and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). Typically Type II cards
include input/output (I/O) features such as modems and NIC.

Type II Extended Cards

Many PC cards are Type II extended cards. The extended card has an
additional physical component that protrudes beyond the traditional card
size. The extension can be as large as 40 mm deep by 9.65 mm high.
This extension provides room for additional electronics as well as a
location for external connectors.

Type III Cards

Type III cards are thicker (10.5 mm) than Type II cards and allow no
connections. Type III card uses include advanced function I/O cards with
additional features such as wireless modems, multimode cards (cards
with more than one function such as a combined modem and NIC card),
and small hard drive storage.

Communication Cards

Versa. Here are some suggestions to help you get the best system
