         PCMCIA Module Handling
         The PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card
         International Association) expansion module is an option for
         the PowerBook 500 Series. The module inserts into the
         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
         module. Type III cards fit in the lower slot and take up both
         slots.

         PCMCIA expansion module:
