Adding and Using PC Cards
A PC Card is a credit card–sized accessory designed to conform
to the standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory
Card International Association (PCMCIA). The computer
supports two Type II PC Cards and both 32-bit CardBus and
16-bit PC Cards.
PC Cards are classified as Type I, Type II, and Type III. The three
types are about the same length and width but vary in thickness.

CAUTION: If you install software or enablers provided by a PC Card
manufacturer, you may not be able to use other PC Cards. If you are
instructed by the documentation included with your PC Card to install
device drivers:
■ Install only the device drivers for your operating system.
■ Do not install card services, socket services, or enablers.
In Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 Professional,
the operating system configures plug and play PC Cards.
