Author Description
PCMCIA System Architecture: 16-Bit PC Cards, Second Edition describes PC card hardware and software interfaces and their relationships to overall system design. Developed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) and the Japan Electronics Industry Development Association (JEIDA), the PC Card Standard defines a standard hardware and software interface for small removable 16-bit cards. The PC Card Standard also defines a new 32-bit PC Card called CardBus. For more information on this standard see CardBus System Architecture (Addison-Wesley, 1995). PCMCIA expert Don Anderson provides a comprehensive treatment of the interface.If you design or test hardware or software that involves 16-bit PC cards, PCMCIA System Architecture is an essential, time-saving tool.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the technical specifications and operational mechanics of the 16-bit PC Card standard within personal computer system architectures. Author Don Anderson, a recognized expert in PCMCIA standards, synthesizes documentation from the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association and the Japan Electronics Industry Development Association. The book provides a structured framework for understanding how these hardware and software interfaces integrate into broader system designs.
