PC Card Handling
Two PC Card slots (formerly PCMCIA) are a feature in the
PowerBook 190/5300 Series. The two slots accept a variety
of third-party PC Cards.
There are three types of PC Cards: Type I (3 mm), Type II
(5 mm), and Type III (10.5 mm). Type I and Type II cards
fit in either the upper or lower slot of the PC Card unit.
Type III cards fit in the lower slot and take up both slots.
The following are guidelines for properly handling the PC
Card:
• Use only cards that are compatible with the PC Card unit.
Refer to the compatibility information that came with the
card. If you cannot find the compatibility information,
call the card vendor.
