type II PC Card. Contact Gateway for PC Card options available that you can
purchase for your notebook.
PC Card slot
The type II CardBus PC Card slot found on the left side of your notebook accepts
credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability and expandability of your
notebook.
PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for notebooks, giving you
expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs. Popular type II cards
include flash memory, SRAM, and SCSI cards. CardBus improves on the 16-bit
PC card technology by expanding the data path to 32 bits.
Important Refer to your card’s manual for details on how to install and
use the card and its functions.
