PC Card ==>
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
<body, hardware, standard> (PCMCIA, or "PC Card") An international trade
association and the standards they have developed for devicies, such as modems
and external hard disk drives, that can be plugged into notebook computers. A
PCMCIA card is about the size of a credit card.
For some unfathomable reason, around 1995(?) they decided to rename PCMCIA cards
"PC Cards", perhaps to encourage sales to confused purchasers.
