4.7 Using a PC Card
PC cards (PCMCIA) make a direct connection to a computer’s high speed
input/output buss. They can be designed to serve many functions – external
hard drives, GPS locating devices, wireless cellular connection devices, and
input/output interfaces and adapters of all types. The PC card is often the best
route for connection to older interfaces, such as RS-232 and RS-485 serial ports.
Before inserting a PC Card, read the documentation that came with the card to
see if it has any special requirements, and, if needed, prepare to install the
software drivers that come with the card. To insert a PC card:
• Locate the PC Card slot on top edge of the Scribbler.
• Insert the PC Card
• When the card is almost all the way into the slot, push firmly, but

• Push the eject button again, and the card will pop out.

cameras and for general file transfer and storage, other functions, such as
external micro hard drives, are available in the CF card format. Before inserting
a CF Card, read the documentation that came with the card to see if it has any
special requirements. For most CF format devices the drivers are already in the
