To allow manufacturers to add functions and technologies in the PC Card
form factor, PCMCIA has defined two PC Card types:
Type Thickness Sample Devices
Type II 5.0 mm Fax/Modem & Network Cards
Type III 10.5 mm Hard Disks (ATA Cards)
Type II Cards
Type II card has a thickness of 5.0 millimeters (mm). Type II cards are often
storage or communications devices such as Flash Memory, LAN, and Small
Computer System Interface (SCSI). Typical Type II cards include input/output
(I/O) features such as modems and LANs. The features for Type II Cards
include following characters:
•
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 provides room for additional electronics as well as a location for
external connectors. The GPRS card is an example. The extended part is
for additional electronics and antenna.

Communication Cards
Both network PC cards and fax/modem cards can use with your
notebook computer. However, if you use built-in LAN/Modem options
of this computer, it is not necessary to use those cards. If you start the
LAN/Modem application without inserting the fax/modem card or had
the built-in LAN/Modem options installed, the application typically does
not find the card.
