PCMCIA
To my knowledge, there is PCMCIA Type II and PCMCIA Type III Cards.
PCMCIA Type III is the thickness of 2 PCMCIA Type II on top of each other. Most PCMCIA Cards are Type II, however thinks like Xercom (who remember these guys) brought out products like their REAL PORT Card that took up 2x PCMCIA Type II. Thus the reason why PCMCIA Type III came out.
Most Notebooks before 2001 came with 1x PCMCIA Type III (or 2x Type II) Slots as standard. It's only been since Modems and Network Cards became stardard that know you need to ask the question "Does it come with a PCMCIA slot?"
Personally, if I need to get some thing on to a notebook, and Floppy and CD Roms are not an option. I spend about $20 on a IDE 2.5 to IDE 3.25 Hard Drive Adaptor. And then put the laptop harddrive into the stardard desktop machine. Then copy the files accross.
