Abstract
In a PC card to be connected to a personal computer, two kinds of operational modes which are different in data bus width from each other can be changed over selectively. Either the CardBus mode with a data bus width of 32 bits or the 16-bit mode is selectable by a selector switch provided in a side face. The PC card is operated in the 16-bit mode for use with a 16-bit-compatible personal computer, and operated in the 32-bit mode for use with a 32-bit-compatible personal computer. Thus, one PC card is useable with various personal computers.
