"PCMCIA standards describe the physical requirements, electrical specifications, and software architecture for PC Cards. The PCMCIA Specifications define three physical sizes of cards: Type I, Type II, and Type III. All three types use the same 68 pin edge connector for attachment to the computer, and differ only in thickness. The thickness for Type I, Type II, and Type III are 3.3, 5.0, 10.5 millimeters respectively."
 
It's probably a Type 2 unit. Type 1 pcmcia's are from very very old notebooks, like 386 era. Even most 486 systems will have type II.
