Setting the computer not to eject storage PC Cards at startup
If a you have a storage PC Card, such as an SRAM card or an ATA hard disk,
in either slot, the card will be ejected when the computer starts up. To prevent
excessive wear on PC Card connectors and slots, you can use the Startup Disk

computer. (Other types of PC Cards, such as a modem or Ethernet card, are
not ejected at startup.)

the end of a straightened paper
clip into the hole next to the slot.
This hole is for the upper slot.
