6-2 Communicating with Your NEC Versa
PC Cards
Your NEC Versa LXi system is equipped with two PC card slots. Type II cards are
supported in both slots, while Type III cards only are supported in the bottom slot.
PC cards are all approximately the same size and vary only in thickness. All have a
standard 68-pin connector. Your NEC Versa supports the installation of the PC cards
described next.
Type II Cards
Type II cards have a thickness of 5.0 millimeters (mm). Type II cards are often storage
or communication devices such as Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), Read
Only Memory (ROM), Flash Memory, LAN, and Small Computer System Interface
(SCSI). Typically Type II cards include input/output (I/O) features such as modems.
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.
Type III Cards
Type III cards are thicker (10.5 mm) than Type II cards. Type III card uses include
advanced function I/O cards with additional features such as wireless modems,
multimode cards (cards with more than one function 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 — You can use a network card with your system to gain access to a
