Some models are equipped with a PC Card slot. The computer is equipped
with a single PC Card slot that can accommodate a Type II format card.
Any PC Card that meets industry standards, either manufactured by
TOSHIBA or another vendor, can be installed as the slot supports 16-bit
PC Cards and 32-bit CardBus cards. For reference, CardBus supports the
newer standard of 32-bit PC Cards and provides superior performance for
the greater demands of applications such as multimedia data transmission.
