PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Introduction
Until recently, the use of PCMCIA cards has been restricted to portable
computers. Desktop systems rarely included a PCMCIA interface.
If you use a portable computer with a PCMCIA slot, any programs or
data you have on PCMCIA memory cards have to be copied to diskette
before being transferred to your desktop PC, which can be both time
consuming and inconvenient. You may also be using a PCMCIA
modem card, network card and/or ATA hard disk drive with your
portable computer, none of which can be used on a standard desktop
system, resulting in wasted resources and additional inconvenience.
The PC/104 PCMCIA Module series of products is designed to provide
a PCMCIA card interface for desktop PCs in order to facilitate the
transfer of data and sharing of devices between portable computers and
desktop PCs. PC/104 PCMCIA Module complies fully with PCMCIA
v.2.10 and JEIDA v.4.1. specifications, which define the industry
standard for PCMCIA cards. By installing a PC/104 PCMCIA Module
on your desktop system, you will be able to make full use of all data
stored on PCMCIA memory cards and PCMCIA devices on both your
portable and desktop systems.
Product Models
There are six models in the PC/104 PCMCIA Module series and this
manual refers to all models. The hardware configuration of the models
is different and separate instructions for hardware installation are given
for each model. Note that the instructions on software installation and
usage refer to all models. The key features of each model in the PC/104
PCMCIA Module series are described below.
