The correct name for what you are [incorrectly]
calling a "PCMCIA

owns the trademarks and they changed the name of the CARDS from
"PCMCIA cards" to "PC Cards" more than a decade ago (early
1990's),
but people just won't let go.
I resisted because the new name smacked of usurpation. One used to
call a small PCB that plugged into an assembly a "card" or "PC card".
Whippersnappers!
