What Do PC Cards Do?
New PC Cards are being introduced every day. Among the PC
Cards currently available are:
Modems and fax/modems
Network adapters
Hard disk and solid state memory drives
SCSI adapters
Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers
Some PC Cards combine the functions of several different cards.
One popular example is a PC Card that combines sound with a
SCSI adapter. These are handy if you want to get the most out of
your PC Card slot.
PC Card technology has changed considerably over the last
few years and it's important that your card is current with the
times. Check the package to make sure the PC Card you buy
conforms to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard (or later). Cards not
conforming to this standard may work with your computer,
but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use.
