Graphic titled “Throwback Thursday — PC Cards:” with a light sandy desert background. The central image shows a Cisco Aironet PC Card wireless adapter, a rectangular expansion card with a metallic body and black plastic end. Below the image, text reads: “Before USB peripherals dominated, PC cards were the way to add features like wireless connectivity and specialty interface ports to laptops and PDAs. Lightweight and compact, PC cards were everywhere in the 1990s; most laptops came with two PC card ports!” Bottom right corner shows the text “vintage.computer.”
Before USB, there were PC Cards, the go-to way to add wireless, modems, storage, and all kinds of specialty ports to laptops and PDAs throughout the 1990s. They were lightweight, modular, and surprisingly powerful. #ThrowbackThursday #PCCard #VintageComputing #VintageComputer
