Part I: Getting to Know Your Computer 44 Learning the Basics Using PC Cards Hold a CD by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface of a CD can prevent the CD-ROM drive from reading the data properly. To clean a CD, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth--starting from the center of the CD and wiping toward the outward edge. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the CD dry completely before inserting it in the drive. Using PC Cards PC Cards expand your computer's capabilities and usefulness. Most PC Cards conform to the PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) standard. Your Satellite computer comes with two stacked PC Card slots and supports three types of PC Cards: Type I cards and Type II cards are typically used for fax/ modems, memory storage, network cards, etc. Type III cards are used for removable hard disks and other functions that require a larger card. You can install just one of these cards. Check the documentation that came with the PC Card to see if it conforms to the PCMCIA 2. 1 standard, or later. Other cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use. Part I: Getting to Know Your Computer Learning the Basics Using PC Cards 45 Inserting PC Cards PC Cards require Card and Socket Services software--a set of programs that acts as a translator between the PC Card and the computer, and that makes hot swapping (switching cards while the computer is on) possible. TECHNICAL NOTE: Windows 98 Second Edition provides the Card and Socket Services for your PC Card. [. . . ] 142A 11317 Tallinn Scribona TPC OY Sinimäentie 14, P. O.
