The [[CardBus]] slot is a ([[PCMCIA]] v5.0+ Type II; 32-bit) card slot, that is backwards compatible with the older, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090331193020/http://www.pcmcia.org/pccard.htm PC Card] ([[PCMCIA]] v2.0 Type II; 16-bit) card slots ([https://web.archive.org/web/20090331193020/http://www.pcmcia.org/faq.htm#cardbusslot How can I tell if I have a CardBus Slot?]). However, be aware that [[CardBus]] ''cards'' will not be backward compatible with older, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090331193020/http://www.pcmcia.org/pccard.htm PC Card] ([[PCMCIA]] Type II; 16-bit) ''slots'' ([https://web.archive.org/web/20090331193020/http://www.pcmcia.org/faq.htm#cardbuscard How can I tell if I have a CardBus card?]).

[[CardBus]] slots will exist in newer ThinkPads, both as Type II and Type III implementations. Type III is double the thickness 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

Thinkpads manufactured before ~1997-06 can NOT have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMCIA#CardBus Cardbus] slots (v5.0+, 32-bit), and will have the original [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMCIA PCMCIA Type II] (v2.X, 16-bit) [https://web.archive.org/web/20090331193020/http://www.pcmcia.org/pccard.htm PC Card] slots; due to timing of the availability of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20090331193020/http://www.pcmcia.org/pccard.htm#rhis PCMCIA v5.0 standard].

=== Linux support ===
Cardbus adapters are handled by the Linux PCI subsystem as hotplug PCI adapters.

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