The PCMCIA slot is a 8 or 16bit PC Card slot. It is not compatible with the newer CardBus adapters.

It exists in ThinkPads both as a Type II and Type III implementation. Type III is double the tickness of Type II, and most Type III implementations can accept two Type II cards.

  • A Type III slot can accept a Type III, Type II or Type I card
  • A Type II slot can accept a Type II or Type I card

Linux support

PCMCIA hotplug and adapters where handled by the older Linux PCMCIA package until the 2.6 kernel where PCMCIA hotplug is now directly supported.
