PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable
computers, giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by
desktop PCs. Popular type II cards include flash memory, SRAM,
fax/data modem, LAN and SCSI cards. CardBus improves on the
16-bit PC card technology by expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits.
ZV (Zoomed Video) support allows your computer to support
hardware MPEG in the form of a ZV PC card.
Note: Refer to your card’s manual for details on how to install and use the
card and its functions.
Inserting a Card
Insert the card into the desired slot and make the proper
connections (e.g., network cable), if necessary. See your card
manual for details.
Ejecting a Card
Before ejecting a PC Card:
1. Exit the application using the card.
2. Left-click on the PC Card icon on the taskbar and stop the
card operation.
