171 Exploring Your Options Using PC Cards Using PC Cards PC Cards expand your computer's capabilities and usefulness. You can purchase additional PC Cards from your dealer. Most PC Cards conform to the PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) standard. Your computer has two stacked PC Card slots and supports two types of PC Cards, known as types II and III: ❖ A Type II card is typically used for memory storage, as a network card, and so on. You can install two Type II cards. ❖ A Type III card is used for removable hard disks and other functions that require a larger card. You can install one of these cards. Check the documentation that came with the PC Card to see if it conforms to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard, or later. Other cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use. PC Card supporting software The operating system provides the Card and Socket Services for your PC Card and is installed automatically. 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.
