PCMCIA slot

The PCMCIA slot is an 8 or 16-bit PC Card slot. It is not compatible with the newer CardBus slot.

It exists in older models both as a Type II and Type III implementation. Type III is 2.1 times thicker than a Type II, and most Type III implementations can accept two Type II cards. Type I on the other hand, is 1.515 times less thick than a Type II. This can be summarized as:

  • A Type III slot can accept a Type III, Type II or a Type I card
  • A Type II slot can accept a Type II or a Type I card
FOOTNOTES [Δ]

Linux support

PCMCIA hotplug and adapters were handled by the older Linux PCMCIA package, until kernel 2.6 where PCMCIA hotplug is now directly supported.

Models featuring this technology

(1) Type III slot

(1) Type IV, or (1) Type III + (1) Type II, or (2) Type II

(2) Type III, or (3) Type II slots

(2) Type II, or (1) Type III slot
