Page 2-38 Hardware Features
PC Card Slot
The Allegro has a user-accessible PC Card Slot (PCMCIA 2.0 Type II)
that allows you to add mass data storage and I/O capabilities to your
Allegro. The PC card drivers and utilities are factory-installed on the
Allegro. These programs provide the card and socket services necessary
to operate the card. In Windows CE, an installed PC card is designated
as a folder called PC Card in My Computer. In DOS, the PC card is the D:
drive.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Types of PC Cards Accepted
The PC card slot accepts Type I or Type II cards. These cards include
ATA Flash cards, SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), Compact
Flash cards, 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.
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 Section 3,
Program and Data Storage Options, for more details.
Input/Output Device Cards
Input/Output Device cards can provide additional communication
capabilities to your 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.
