Expansion cards are printed circuit boards that can be installed in your
computer to give it special features, such as enhanced video capabilities,
networking and communications, and additional processing power. Your
Macintosh has slots available for three different kinds of expansion cards:
m a PCI (peripheral component interconnect) slot for a 6.88-inch long PCI
card (such as a video editing card)
m a communication slot for an internal modem or Ethernet card (you may
already have an internal modem installed in this slot)
m a video-in slot for a video input card that brings signals into the computer
from a videocassette recorder (VCR), laser disc player, video camera, or
similar device
