PC cards
The computer is equipped with a PC card (PCMCIA) expansion slot that
can accommodate two 5 mm Type II cards or one 10.5 mm Type III card.
Any PC card that meets industry standards (manufactured by Toshiba or
other vendor) can be installed. The slots support 16-bit PC cards,
including PC Card 16’s multi-function card and CardBus PC cards.
CardBus supports the new standard of 32-bit PC Cards. The bus provides
superior performance for the greater demands of multimedia
data transmission.
Installing a PC card
Two PC card connectors are located one above the other on the left side
of the computer. Both connectors are accessed from the same slot. You
can install two Type II cards, one in each connector, or one Type III card in
the bottom connector.
To install a PC card, follow the steps below.
1. Insert the PC card and press gently to ensure a firm connection. When
the card is fully inserted, the eject button will pop out partially.
2. Pull the eject button out fully, then fold it down.
Inserting a PC card
3. To inhibit unauthorized removal of a card, secure the PC card lock as

After installing the card, check the configuration in the computer’s
Hardware Setup or TSETUP program to make sure it is appropriate for
your card.
