Help with PC Card Connectors specifications:

Connector Type

	Connector Type
	Your choices are...
	Type I Card		Type I card dimensions are 54 mm x 85.4 mm and can be up to 3.3 mm thick. These cards are normally used as memory cards (RAM, ROM, Flash RAM, etc.).
	Type II Card		Type II card dimensions are 54 mm x 85.4 mm and can be up to 5.5 mm thick. Common uses of these cards: I/O devices such as data/fax modems, LAN adapter, non-rotating mass storage devices, etc.
	CompactFlash® Card Connector		CompactFlash® is a small, removable, mass storage PC card. At approximately half the size of an ATA Flash card, CompactFlash can have extremely high megabyte (MB) capacities. CompactFlash is a registered trademark of the CompactFlash Association.
	Memory Card Connector		Connectors used to interface memory cards with motherboards.
	AdvancedTCA		Advanced telecom computing architecture or AdvancedTCA (ATCA) connectors are used to connect or interface AdvancedTCA devices and boards to systems or motherboards.
	CompactPCI		CompactPCI (cPCI) connectors are used to connect or interface CompactPCI devices and boards to systems or motherboards.
	MicroTCA		MicroTCA is a bus and protocol system that is based on the AdvancedMC mezzanine card standard. MicroTCA allows the AdvancedMC card to be plugged directly into the MicroTCA backplane. This means that the AdvancedMC card can be used without a carrier card. This is not the case for the AdvancedTCA (ATCA) system however, which needs an AdvancedMC carrier card to connect the modules.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary connector.
