Using PC Cards

A PC card is a credit card-sized adapter for your personal

computer designed to meet the PCMCIA (Personal Computer

Memory Card International Association) version 2.0 universal

standard for adding memory, storage, and interface capabilities

to portable systems.

Your computer accepts Type I and Type II PC cards such as

fax/modem cards, RAM cards, FLASH memory cards, and

LAN (local area network) cards.

If you want to use PC cards with your system, be sure to see the

PCREADME.TXT file on your Reference diskette. It provides

information on installing a PC card driver and updating your

CONFIG.SYS file. To access PCREADME.TXT from the DOS

prompt, follow these steps:

1. Connect the external diskette drive as described in Chapter 1.

2. Log onto Drive A: and type the following command:

A:TYPE PCREADME.TXT MORE

You can also use any text editor or word processing

program to access this file.

3. Follow the instructions in the file to load the PC card drivers

and configure your system for the card.

Depending on the PC card you use, you may have to load

additional socket services or card services software before it can

work properly. You may also need to format the card before

you can use it. See the documentation that came with the card

for additional information for your specific card.
