153 Exploring Your Computer's Features Using PC Cards In addition to high speed, the i.LINK® port also supports isochronous data transfer (the delivery of data at a guaranteed rate). This makes it ideal for devices that transfer high levels of data in real-time, such as video devices. As with USB ports, the i.LINK® port supports both Plug-andPlay (automatic configuration) and hot swapping (the ability to connect and disconnect devices while the computer is on). Using PC Cards Your computer comes with one PC Card slot and supports two types of PC Cards: ❖ Type I Cards--You can install one of these cards ❖ Type II Cards--You can install one of these cards TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check the package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard (or later). Other cards may work with your computer, but they are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use. Inserting a PC Card Before inserting a PC Card, read the documentation that came with the card to see if it has any special requirements. HINT: The operating system provides the Card and Socket Services software 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 operating system. To insert a PC Card: 1 Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer. 2 Insert the PC Card.
