3.8 Using PCMCIA Cards
WHAT IS PCMCIA?
PCMCIA or Personal Computer Memory Card International Association is a
non-profit trade association that defines the industry standard for the PC Card
technology. The goal of PCMCIA is to ensure that any PC Card can work in
any mobile computer built with a PCMCIA slot.
A PC Card is a peripheral device that can add a wide variety of capabilities to
your computer including memory, mass-storage, LAN, fax/modem, wireless
communications, and multimedia. The PCMCIA standardized PC Card is
roughly the dimension of a credit card, and has a standardized 68-pin
connector at one end. The main benefits of the PC Card are its low-power
consumption, small size and ruggedness.
To allow manufacturers to add functions and technologies in the PC Card
form factor, PCMCIA has defined two PC Card types:
Type Thickness Sample Devices
Type II 5.0 mm Fax/Modem & Network Cards
Type III 10.5 mm Hard Disks (ATA Cards)
