Introduction
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
PC Cards have gained wide acceptance on portable computers because
of their small size, flexibility and interchangeability. Now desktop
computers can benefit from these same capabilities.
Typical applications for PC Cards include exchanging data between
devices, as well as temporarily adding a fax/modem, network, SCSI
port, sound card or removable disk to the computer. Data exchange is
not limited to computers. Any device, such as an electronic piano
keyboard, can exchange data with the computer as long as the device
supports the PCMCIA standard. New cards are being developed all the
time.
