Inserting a PC Card

Before inserting a PC Card, read the documentation that

3 When the card is almost all the way into the slot, push
firmly, but gently, to ensure a firm connection with the
computer. Avoid forcing the card into position.
TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check
the package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1
standard (or later). Other cards may work with your computer,
but they are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use.
HINT: The operating system provides the Card and Socket
Services software for your PC Card. Even if your PC Card
comes with its own version of Card and Socket Services, you
should use the files included in the operating system.
