The computer has built-in CardBus PC Card slots that can accommodate one type III
or two type II/I PC Cards. Please consult your dealer for PC Card options available that
you can purchase for your computer.
The PC Card slots found on the right of the computer accepts credit-card-sized cards
that enhance the usability and expandability of the computer.

expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs. Popular type II cards include
flash memory, SRAM, fax/data modem, LAN and SCSI cards. CardBus improves on the
16-bit PC Card technology by expanding the data path to 32 bits.
