4-18 Using the Hardware
Note:
When using a modem outside the U.S.
and Canada, you might need an international
telephone adapter. You can buy this at an
electronics supply store.
Storage Cards
When you insert a memory or storage card in an NEC notebook
computer, it appears as a unique drive depending on the type of card and
the slot you are using.
Other Cards
Many other kinds of PC cards are available for notebook computers.
They include the following cards:
Global Positioning System (GPS) — enables the tracking of remote
units (for example, delivery trucks)
Serial — adds an extra serial communications port
Multimedia — combines animation and sound
Audio — enables the use of sound (for example, in voice mail)
IR Port
The IR port on the front of your system lets your NEC Versa SX Series
computer communicate with other devices that also use infrared
technology. The IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible.
You can easily transfer files between your NEC Versa and an IR-
equipped desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using
cables.
IR transfer speed ranges from 2.4 Kbit/sec to 4.0 Mbit/sec. You can limit
the IR transfer speed through the Infrared icon in the Windows 95
control panel. Double click the icon and select the options to access the
speed parameter.
