networking and communications, and additional processing power. Slots that
will fit three different kinds of expansion cards are available within your
Macintosh:
m a PCI (peripheral component interconnect) slot for most 6.88-inch cards
m a communication slot for an internal modem, fax, or Ethernet card
m a video-in slot for a video input card that brings signals into the computer
from a videocassette recorder (VCR), laser disc player, video camera, or
similar device
