Editing PC Card (section)

=== Others ===

The shape is also used by the [[Common Interface]] form of [[conditional-access module]]s for [[Digital Video Broadcasting|DVB]], and by Panasonic for their professional "P2" video acquisition memory cards.

A [[CableCARD]] [[conditional-access module]] is a type II PC Card intended to be plugged into a cable set-top box or digital cable-ready television.

The interface has spawned a generation of flash [[memory card]]s that set out to improve on the size and features of Type I cards: [[CompactFlash]], [[Miniature Card|MiniCard]], [[P2 (storage media)|P2 Card]] and [[SmartMedia]]. For example, the PC Card electrical specification is also used for CompactFlash, so a PC Card CompactFlash adapter can be a passive physical adapter rather than requiring additional circuitry. CompactFlash is a smaller dimensioned 50 pin subset of the 68 pin PC Card interface. It requires a setting for the interface mode of either "memory" or "[[AT Attachment|ATA]] storage".{{cn|date=October 2023}}

The EOMA68 [[open-source hardware]] standard uses the same 68-pin PC Card connectors and corresponds to the PC Card form factor in many other ways.<ref>{{ cite web | author = Ferdinand Thommes | url = https://www.ubuntu-user.com/Magazine/Archive/2014/21/Developing-free-hardware-using-Vivaldi-and-Improv-as-examples/(offset)/2 | title = Developing free hardware using Vivaldi and Improv as examples | work = Ubuntu User magazine | date = 2014 | accessdate = 2020-08-12 }}</ref>
