Re: Info about PCMCIA?

PCMCIA slots are very common on laptops and PDAs.
Often they are used to swap modem, NIC or other devices.

| The specification you listed:
| "Connectors: (1) Type I or Type II card
| 3.3 and 5 V cards supported
| Warm-swap Capable"
| would indicate that it has a PCMCIA slot, as those slots
are Type I or II.
| While I'm sure they exist, I've never seen a laptop with a
PCMCIA slot.
| Stating the make and model might have been helpful.

laptop's PCMCIA slot, so
| how do I know if the laptop has one? The description for
the laptop says:
| Connectors: (1) Type I or Type II card

| Warm-swap Capable
|
| AND IEEE 1394 (Firewire): 4-pin serial connector

| Is it any of these? Thank you.
