the same length and width (54 mm x 85.6 mm). The cards differ in thickness in the
center, but have identical thickness at the connector end and long the rails. This lets
you use all three types in the same PCMCIA slot, if the slot is thick enough in the
center.

memory cards. See also PC card.

that require more space, such as rotating media and wireless communication
devices. See also PC card.
