This chapter presents PC 98 requirements and recommendations for PC Card. This includes PC Card 16 (previously referred to as PCMCIA cards), CardBus cards, and PC Card socket controllers (both PC Card 16-only controllers and CardBus controllers).
Windows 98 supports PC Card 16 I/O cards. Memory PC Card 16 cards are supported only as legacy devices. For any PC Card device to work effectively with Windows, the manufacturer must implement a minimum set of tuples documented in the PC Card standard. Windows uses these tuples to identify and configure any PC Card 16 card.
