The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is a high-speed serial 
bus which allows you to connect and daisy-chain USB 
peripherals without taking up precious system resources.

PC Card Slots
There are two type II/I or one type III CardBus PC Card 
slots found on the right panel of the computer.  These slots 
accept credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability 
and expandability of the computer.
PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable 
computers, giving you expansion possibilities long afforded 
by desktop PCs.  Popular type II cards include flash 
memory, SRAM, fax/data modem, LAN and SCSI cards.  
Common type III cards are 1.8-inch ATA drives and cellular 
modems.  CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card 
technology by expanding the data path to 32 bits.
