PCMCIA System Architecture: 16-Bit PC Cards, Second Edition describes PC card hardware and software interfaces and their relationships to overall system design. Developed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) and the Japan Electronics Industry Development Association (JEIDA), the PC Card Standard defines a standard hardware and software interface for small removable 16-bit cards. The PC Card Standard also defines a new 32-bit PC Card called CardBus. For more information on this standard, see CardBus System Architecture (Addison-Wesley, 1996). PCMCIA expert Don Anderson provides a comprehensive treatment of the interface.
