PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers,
giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs.
Popular PC cards include fax/data modem, LAN, wireless LAN and SCSI
cards. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card technology by
expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits.

Note: Refer to your card’s manual for details on how to install and
use the card and its functions.
