         computer's second (left) battery bay and has two slots that
         accept a variety of third-party PCMCIA cards.

         There are three types of PCMCIA cards: Type I (3 mm),
         Type II (5 mm), and Type III (10 mm). Type I and Type II
         cards fit in either the upper or lower slot of the expansion

         slots.
