PC Card
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.

3. After inserting the PC Card you should refer to its documentation and
also check the configuration in Windows in order to ensure that it is
correct.
PC Cards can sometimes become hot during computer operation. Before
you remove a PC Card always wait for it to cool. You could get burned
removing a hot PC Card.
Do not insert a PC Card while the computer is in Sleep Mode or
