(Type II).
You can install any industry standard PC card such as a SCSI adaptor or flash
memory card.
A dummy card is installed to protect the slot.

or hibernation mode. Some cards might not work properly.

affect the performance of the computer's sound system and
data transmission, including slower transmission speeds
and dialing errors.
