164 Exploring Your Options Connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse Connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse By connecting an external monitor, external full-size keyboard and a mouse, you can work with your notebook as if it were a standard office desktop computer. You can connect an external monitor to the RGB (monitor) port. For more information, see "Back" on page 38. You can connect an external USB-compatible keyboard and a USB-compatible mouse to one of the three USB ports. For more information about connecting a mouse, see "Connecting a mouse" on page 66. 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 one PC Card slot and supports Type II PC 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 PC Cards require Card and Socket Services software - a set of programs that acts as a translator between the PC Card and the computer, and that makes hot swapping (switching cards while the computer is on) possible. The operating system provides the Card and Socket Services 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.
