Re: Types of PCMCIA cards

Obviously not, but the correct terminology TODAY is "PC Card". They
were once correctly called PCMCIA cards, but PCMCIA (the "Personal
Computer Memory Card International (or Industry) Association", the group
that owns the standard and the trademarks, changed the name of the cards
back in the mid 1990's. PCMCIA refers to the organization, but the
cards are now correctly called "PC Cards".
