My memory appears to have that off-by-one error. The two cards I have
on my desk that require the special reader didn't have anything to say
what type they are.
I am guessing, by looking at the size of the
card, this is a Type II
card. Most PCMCIA card readers fitted to laptops and PCs will only
read Type III PCMCIA memory cards.
Perhaps you have an off-by-one error? Most recent laptops only have a single Type II slot,
but many Pentium
laptops have a "dual Type II/Type III socket" meaning you can use two
Type II cards simultaneously or one Type III (the thickness of the
card blocks the upper slot)
Type I cards were strange and most semi-modern stuff doesn't support
them, AFAIK.
