ABSTRACT:
A connector with two mating surfaces is configured within a computer housing to accept removable PC cards. These connector surfaces are capable of mating with PC cards mounted both internally and externally to the housing. The bottom surfaces of the externally mounted PC cards are flush with a lower external surface of the computer housing. This configuration allows external cards to be supported by any flat surface upon which the computer rests without the requirement for the space of an additional internal slot. The connector is offset between opposing sides of the housing. When a PC card is connected to the connector from a first side a maximum of 25% of the length of the PC card fits within the housing and when connected to the connector from a second opposing side a minimum of 75% of the length of the PC card fits within the housing.
