Explanation : All Portable Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) cards use the same 68-pin interface. The difference between Type I, Type II, and Type III cards is their height (thickness). A Type I card is 3.3 mm, a Type II card is 5.0 mm, and a Type III card is 10.5 mm. When the laptop has two Type II card slots, it can hold one Type III card, two Type II cards, or two Type I cards.
