<
body, hardware, standard> (PCMCIA, or "PC
Card") An
international trade
association and the
standards they have
developed for devicies, such as
modems and external {hard
disk} drives, that can be plugged into
notebook computers.
A PCMCIA
card is about the size of a credit
card.
For some unfathomable reason, around 1995(?) they decided to
rename PCMCIA cards "PC Cards", perhaps to encourage sales to
confused purchasers.
