Check the documentation that came with the PC Card to see
if it conforms to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard, or later. Other
cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be
much more difficult to set up and use.
PC Card supporting software
The operating system provides the Card and Socket Services
for your PC Card and is installed automatically. Even if your
PC Card comes with its own version of Card and Socket
Services, you should use the files included in the Windows
®
XP operating system.
