Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
The PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) is an industry group
organized in 1989 to promote standards for a credit card-size memory
or I/O
device that would fit into a personal computer, usually a notebook or laptop computer. The PCMCIA
2.1 Standard was published in 1993. As a result, PC users can be assured of standard attachments
for any peripheral device that follows the standard. The initial standard and its subsequent
releases describe a standard product, the PC
Card.
