Editing PC Card (section)

== Applications ==

Many notebooks in the 1990s had two adjacent type-II slots, which allowed installation of two type-II cards or one, double-thickness, type-III card. The cards were also used in early digital SLR cameras, such as the [[Kodak DCS 300 series]]. However, their original use as storage expansion is no longer common.
