Answer 1

PCMCIA promotes the interoperability of PC Cards not only in mobile computers, but in such diverse products as digital cameras, cable TV, set-top boxes, and automobiles. As the variety of products that need modular peripheral expansion has grown, so has the diversity of the capabilities of modular peripherals. As such, PCMCIA has recently changed its mission statement: "To develop standards for modular peripherals and promote their worldwide adoption."

PCMCIA also works with standards for small form factor cards. PCMCIA added the Small PC Card form factor specifications to the PC Card Standard and publishes the Miniature Card Standard. These cards enable hand-held devices such as digital cameras to use a very small, rugged form of memory while PC Cards allow the data to be easily transferred to your personal computer through inexpensive adapters.

Answer 2

The PC Card slot is used to insert a Common Interface card used to provide access to subscription-based programming.
