  What is PCMCIA, and what is a PC card? - Knowledge Base
PCMCIA is a non-profit trade association and standards body consisting of some 500 companies.
PCMCIA has developed a standard for small, credit card-sized devices, called PC cards, that are often used in notebook computers.

 Cisco - PCMCIA Filesystem Compatibility Matrix and Filesystem Information
This can be useful when copying a software image on the PCMCIA Flash card of a router or switch (source) which is to be used for another router or switch (target) of a different platform.
Using a PCMCIA card formatted in the source platform may work in some cases; however, there are a number of situations where the bootstrap version of the target router does not support the formatted card, even if the filesystems are compatible.
To be sure that a platform is able to boot from a linear PCMCIA Flash card, you should format it on the platform in question; however, the ability to boot from an ATA Flash disk is often times dependent on the platform.

 Making Sense of PCMCIA
While the PCMCIA standard has grown significantly, it has done a pretty fair job of staying backward-compatible with earlier cards (a Type I card can be used in a Type II or III slot, for instance).
Because of their small size, PCMCIA cards do not have DIP switches or jumpers; instead, the first level of configuration is done by a special piece of software called an enabler.
Because of an oversight in the PCMCIA specification, the first enabler loaded will configure the card if it is installed when the machine is booted; if the card is inserted after the machine is booted, however, the last enabler loaded will configure the card.

 About PCMCIA
PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) is an international standards body and trade association with over 100 member companies that was founded in 1989 to establish standards for Integrated Circuit cards and to promote interchangeability among mobile computers where ruggedness, low power, and small size were critical.
Today, PCMCIA is continuing to develop and promote the ExpressCard Standard, the standard for hot swappable systems and modules that dramatically improves the I/O performance of both desktop and notebook computers by supporting both the PCI Express and Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 standard.
PCMCIA publishes the ExpressCard Standard which contains all of the physical and electrical specifications for ExpressCard technology.

 PCMCIA definition - isp.webopedia.com - The Glossary for Internet Service Providers
Short for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, and pronounced as separate letters, PCMCIA is an organization consisting of some 500 companies that has developed a standard for small, credit card-sized devices, called PC Cards.
Originally designed for adding memory to portable computers, the PCMCIA standard has been expanded several times and is now suitable for many types of devices.
For example, you can slip in a fax modem card when you want to send a fax and then, when you're done, replace the fax modem card with a memory card.
