Working with PC Cards
By installing PC Cards, you can add functions to your portable
computer similar to those found on add-in boards for desktop
computers. Available PC Cards include:
Input/output, such as modem, network, pager, video capture,
and SCSI cards.
Storage, such as hard drive cards.
Combo cards, such as a combination modem and network card.
Your computer includes the following PC Card support:
Two PC-Card slots: You can install Type I, II, or III cards in
the slots. Type III cards are thicker than Types I and II. If you
install a Type III card in the bottom slot, you cannot install a
card in the top slot.
CardBus hardware and software: CardBus enables the
computer to use 32-bit PC Cards. Windows 98 supports 32-bit
and 16-bit PC Cards. The SystemSoft
®
CardWizard™ for
Windows NT program, provided with systems that ship from
the factory with Windows NT installed, also supports both 16-
bit and 32-bit cards.
Zoomed video: The bottom PC Card slot and the video chip on
your computer support zoomed video. When you install a
zoom video PC Card in the bottom slot, data can be transferred
directly from the PC Card to video and audio systems without
going through the microprocessor. Video conferencing and
real-time multimedia devices, such as video cameras, are
supported by zoom video.
To use the CardBus and zoomed video
technology, install the CardBus and zoomed
video drivers provided with your PC Card. If no
drivers were supplied with your card, contact the
PC Card manufacturer. ATA and modem PC
Cards do not require extra drivers.
