By installing PC Cards, you can add functions to your portable 
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 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 95 supports 
32-bit and 16-bit PC Cards.

•

Zoomed video: The bottom PC Card slot and the video 
chip on your computer support zoomed video. When 
you install a zoom video PC Card in the bottom 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 zoom video.

The following sections tell you how to work with PC Cards in 
Windows 95. 

To maintain your PC Cards, follow these guidelines:

•

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

•

Do not drop, bend, flex, or crush cards when handling.
