PC Card Slot
The PCMCIA 2.1 compliant PC Card slot supports one type I or type II PC card. The slot supports a 16-
bit PC card or 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of Notebook PC expansion options such as
ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters.

IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities
like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400 Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units
on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in high-end digital equipment and should be marked "DV" for
Digital Video port.
