Transferring Pictures with a PCMCIA
Adapter

A PCMCIA adapter allows you to transfer pictures stored on
a USB-enabled or ATA-compatible CompactFlash card
directly to your computer or laptop. To use this adapter,
your computer must be equipped with a Type II PCMCIA
card slot.

If you’re using a Macintosh, you must enable the PC
Exchange extension software to access files on ATA-
compatible CompactFlash cards. See your Macintosh
documentation for more information.
