Using PC Cards
PC Card supporting software
PC Cards require Card and Socket Services software — a set of
programs that acts as a translator between the PC Card and the
computer, and that makes hot swapping (switching cards while the
computer is on) possible.
The Windows
®
XP operating system provides the Card and
Socket Services for your PC Card. Even if your PC Card comes
with its own version of Card and Socket Services, you should use
the files included in the Windows
®
XP operating system.
