two Type II PCMCIA cards
B.
one Type III PCMCIA card
C.
one Type II and one Type III PCMCIA card
D.
two Type I PCMCIA cards
Explanation:
Type I – Cards designed to the original specification (version 1.x) are type I and feature a 16-bit
interface. They are 3.3 millimeters thick. Type-I PC Card devices are typically used for memory
devices such as RAM, flash memory, OTP, and SRAM cards. Type II – Type-II PC Card devices
feature a 16- or 32-bit interface. They are 5.0 millimeters thick. Type-II cards introduced I/O
support, allowing devices to attach an array of peripherals or to provide connectors/slots to
interfaces for which the PC/laptop had no built-in support. For example, many modem, network
and TV cards use this form factor. Due to their thinness, most type II interface cards feature
miniature interface connectors on the card which are used together with a dongle; a short cable
that adapts from the card’s miniature connector to an external full-size connector. Type III – TypeIII PC Card devices are 16- or 32-bit . These cards are 10.5 millimeters thick, allowing them to
accommodate devices with components that would not fit type I or type II height. Examples are
hard disk drive cards, and interface cards with full-size connectors that do not require dongles (as
is commonly required with type II interface cards).
