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.
When inserted in the PC Card slot, some PC Cards may block the optical
disc drive tray and prevent it from opening. If this occurs please remove
the PC Card each time you wish to open or close the optical disc drive tray.
