PC Cards

On the right side of the computer is a PC Card slot in which you can install PC Cards that comply with Release 2.01 of the Personal Computer
Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) standard and Release 4.2 of the Japanese Electronic Industry Development Association
(JEIDA) standard.

The computer supports type I and type II PC Cards, such as modems, local area network (LAN) cards, wireless LAN cards, and small computer 
system interface (SCSI) cards. Also supported are such memory devices as static random-access memory (SRAM) cards that emulate
diskettes, random-access memory (RAM) cards, and one-time programmable (OTP) ROM cards, and advanced technology attachment (ATA)
cards that emulate integrated drive electronics (IDE) hard-disk drives.

If you are using the Microsoft Windows 98 operating system, you can use a zoomed video (ZV) PC Card, such as a hardware Moving Picture
Experts Group (MPEG) decoder. (The Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 operating system does not support ZV.)

The "type" of a card refers to its thickness, not its functionality.

Your computer recognizes most input/output (I/O) cards and automatically loads the device driver associated with that card.
