80 Working with PC Cards

Working with PC Cards

By installing PC Cards, you can add functions to your notebook 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 and flash (SRAM) 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/ Me 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: Both PC Card slots and the video chip on your computer

support zoomed video. When you install a zoom video PC Card in the upper

or lower 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

zoomed video.

To use the CardBus and zoomed video technology with

Windows NT, install the CardBus and zoomed video driver

provided with your PC Card. If no drivers were supplied with

your card, contact the PC Card manufacturer. ATA (AT

attachment) and modem PC Cards do not require extra

drivers.

Maintaining PC Cards

To maintain your PC Cards, follow these guidelines:

•

Keep cards away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and liquids.
