Using the i.LINK
®
port
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
Using the i.LINK
®
port
The i.LINK
®
port on the left side of the computer provides an
extremely fast data transfer rate (up to 400 mega bits per
second [Mbps]). You can connect up to 63 external devices to
the i.LINK
®
port.
In addition to high speed, the i.LINK
®
port also supports
isochronous data — the delivery of data at a guaranteed rate.
This makes it ideal for devices that transfer high levels of data
in real-time, such as video devices.
As with USB ports, the i.LINK
®
port supports both Plug-and-
Play (automatic configuration) and hot swapping (the ability
to connect and disconnect devices while the computer is on).
The main difference between i.LINK
®
and USB technology is
that i.LINK
®
supports faster data transfer rates.
Using PC Cards
PC Cards expand your computer’s capabilities and
usefulness. You can purchase additional PC Cards from your
dealer. Most PC Cards conform to the PCMCIA (Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association) standard.
Your computer has one PC Card slot and supports Type II PC
Cards.
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.
