 PCMCIA Definition
We define PCMCIA |
PCMCIA - Aside from winning the award for being the longest and most-annoying-to-pronounce technology acronym, PCMCIA is a credit card-sized interface card standard. PCMCIA cards are most commonly found in notebook computers. You'll usually find two slots on newer models--two small slots can hold two Type I or II cards or one Type III card. Type III cards are usually mini hard drives; Type I or II cards are usually modems or network cards, but can also be sound cards, SCSI adapters, and any other interface you can imagine. It is possible to use PCMCIA cards on a desktop computer, but you need to purchase special hardware that's not usually worth it--unless you've got some really special use for your cards, such as secure authentication using a PCMCIA card. |
