Expansion cards are printed circuit boards that can be installed in your
computer to give it special features, such as enhanced video capabilities,
networking and communications, and additional processing power. Your
Macintosh has three slots available for the following kinds of expansion
cards:
m an LC-PDS (processor-direct) slot for most cards
m a communications slot for an internal modem or Ethernet card
m a video-in slot for a card that brings signals into the computer from a
videocassette recorder (VCR), laserdisc player, video camera, or similar
device
You can also install a TV tuner card that allows you to watch TV on your
Macintosh.
