PCMCIA Card Sensor (Emitter and Receiver)
The PCMCIA card sensor is a two-part sensor consisting of a receiver [2]
and an emitter [3] (Figure 6-3). The sensor prevents undocking when it
detects that a PCMCIA card or cable extends beyond the safe limits of
the PCMCIA slot in the Compaq LTE Elite. Refer to Section 6.6 for more
information on the PCMCIA card sensor.
