4-16 Using Your NEC Versa Computer
Type II Extended Cards
Many PC cards are Type II extended cards. The extended
card has an additional physical component that protrudes
beyond the traditional card size. The extension can be as
large as 40 mm deep by 9.65 mm high. This extension pro-
vides room for additional electronics as well as a location
for external connectors.
Type III Cards
Type III cards are thicker (10.5 mm) than Type II cards and
allow no extensions. Type III card uses include advanced
function I/O cards with additional features such as wireless
modems, multimode cards (cards with more than one func-
tion such as a combined modem and LAN card), and small
hard drive storage.
Communication Cards
You can use both fax/modem and network PC cards with
your NEC Versa. Here are some suggestions to help you get
the best system performance.
Network Cards
Fax/Modem Cards
You can insert a fax/modem in either slot.
Always insert the fax/modem card before using your
fax/modem software application. If you start the appli-
cation before inserting the fax/modem card, the applica-
tion typically does not find the card.
