PC Cards

Types of PC Cards Accepted

The PC card slot accepts Type I or Type II cards. These cards include
ATA Flash cards, Compact Flash cards, SRAM (Static Random Access
Memory), or Input/Output cards. All types have a 68 pin connector
for attachment to the Allegro. The cards must be 5 V or 5 V/3 V (PC
cards that are 3 V only are not supported). The PC card slot is a 16 bit
card slot. It is not a “card bus” slot. To use a Compact Flash card, a
Compact Flash card adapter is required.

Memory Cards

A memory card is a solid state, self-contained memory board housed
in a credit card-sized package. There are several types and brands
of cards on the market. These cards behave like hard disks. Refer to
Chapter 3, Program and Data Storage Options, for more details.

Input/Output Device Cards

Input/Output Device cards can provide additional communication
capabilities to the Allegro. Common I/O cards include fax/modem
and network cards. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
information on how to use these cards and for information about
hardware or software accessories that may be required. Contact our
sales department for information on compatible cards and technical
information about the installation and operation of the cards.

Inserting Cards

The card slot is located under the PC card door. There are two, ¼
turn screws holding the door in place.

If you are using ATA cards, it should be ready to use. If you are using
an SRAM card, make sure the battery is installed (if required). To
insert a card into your Allegro, complete the following steps:

Turn the Allegro off and place it face-down on a surface.

Turn each screw counter-clockwise ¼ turn to release the door,
using a fl at-head screwdriver.
