Hi Lester

Older laptops had a slot in the side for a PCMCIA card, which is a thin card that plugs into the laptop to extend its functionality by adding e.g. Firewire, extra USB ports, Bluetooth, etc. I think it was later known as a PC Card?

Newer laptops have something called an “Express card” and they are not interchangeable. That is, an old PCMCIA card will not plug into an Express Card slot and vice versa.

Cheers

Dennis
