Comparing PCMCIA, Cardbus, And Small PCI

摘要

PCMCIA is the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. The first and second release of the card spec still referred to the cards as PCMCIA cards. However, with the addition of Cardbus capability, the PCMCIA organization has changed the terminology by which they refer to the different generations of cards. PCMCIA still refers to the organization while "PC Card" or R2 Cards" (represents Release 2 of the standard) still refers to the 16-bit cards. Cardbus refers to the 32-bit interface, which is closely related to the PCI bus.
