Q13:
If

automatically at
home. How to make
it easier and automatically?
From Windows XP, go to network setting and locate TCP/IP setting. In
general setting, you may setup Automatically get IP address.
And in other settings, you may setup Fixed IP for alternative use.

Q12:
What
is Zoomed Video (ZV)?
Zoomed Video (ZV) is a connection between a PC Card and host system
that allows the card to write video data directly to the VGA
controller. The data is transferred with no buffering requirements
because it is transferred over the ZV bus and not the system bus.

Q11:
What
is Power Management?
Power
Management is the Standard provides a means to interface to APM
(Advanced Power Management) through the Card Services Specification.
|
Q10:
What
is Plug and Play?
Plug
and Play is the PC Cards can be inserted or removed while the system
is on because power and ground contact pins are the longest
contacts, ensuring that disconnect signals disengage first,
preserving data integrity.

Q09:
What
is Multiple Function PC Cards?
Multiple
Function PC Cards
is the Standard enables truly standardized multiple function
PC-Cards.
|
Q08:
What
is Low Voltage Operation?
Low
Voltage Operation is the Standard enables 3.3 and 5 volts operation.
A physical keying mechanism for 3.3 volts cards protects them from
being damaged in a 5 volts slot.
|
Q07:
What
is PC Card XIP?
XIP
stands for execute In Place (XIP). Allows operating system and
application software to run directly from the PC Card, eliminating
the need for large amounts of system RAM.

Q06:
What
is PC Card DMA?
DMA
is Direct Memory Access. The Standard allows cards to utilize DMA
technology directly in the hardware when matched with a
corresponding host system. DMA directly transfer memory data to
input/output device without CPU interoperation.
|
Q05:
What
is CardBus?
CardBus
allows PC Cards and hosts to use 32-bit bus mastering and to operate
at speeds up to 33MHz.
|
Q04:
What
is PCMCIA Card CIS?
MCard
Information Structure is a technology of PCMCIA Card. The CIS
describes the characteristics and capabilities of the card so the
host system can automatically configure it. CIS is defined in the
Metaformat Specification.

Q03:
What is
the specification release of PCMCIA Card?
The
release number refers to the version of the PC Card Standard that a
particular card or system was based on. Basically, release 1.0
supported memory only, and 2.X releases supported memory and I/O
applications.
PCMCIA
Standard Release 1.0/JEIDA 4.0 - June 1990
PCMCIA
Standard, Releases 2.0, 2.01 and 2.1 - 1991-1994
PC
Card Standard-February 1995
The
latest release of the PC Card Standard improved overall PCMCIA
compatibility and added support for features such as 3.3 volt
operation for power-saving notebook computers, Direct Memory Access
(DMA) support for faster throughput, and 32-bit CardBus bus
mastering for 32-bit applications.
|
Q02:
What
is PCMCIA Card Types (Type I, Type II, Type III)?
The
PC Card Standard provides physical specifications for three types of
PC Cards, with provisions for extended cards. Each card type has
features that fit the needs of different applications.
Type
I PC Cards are typically used for memory devices such as RAM, Flash,
OTP, and SRAM cards.
Type
II PC Cards are typically used for I/O devices such as data/fax
modems, LANs, and mass storage devices.
Type
III PC Cards are used for devices whose components are thicker, such
as rotating mass storage devices.
These
Extended cards allow the addition of components that must remain
outside the system for proper operation, such as antennas for
wireless applications. All three card types measure the same in
length and width, and use the same 68-pin connector along the edge
for connecting to a computer. The only difference between the card
types is thickness, which vary as 3.3, 5.0, and 10.5 millimeters for
Type I, Type II, and Type III cards respectively. Because they
differ only in thickness, a thinner card can be used in a thicker
slot, but a thicker card can not be used in a thinner slot.

Q01:
What is PCMCIA?
In
June of 1989, a non-profit trade association and standards body
known as the Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Association, or
simply PCMCIA, was formed in Sunnyvale, CA with the intention of
establishing, marketing, and maintaining a new expansion technology
designed specifically for on-the-road computing. A credit card-sized
casing would be developed to house a new generation of micro
expansion cards that notebook & laptop users could use to add
memory, storage, or communication capabilities to their machines on
the fly. Hence the PCMCIA card, which has become more commonly known
as the PC Card, was born.
