JEIDA memory card

JEIDA cards could be used to expand system memory[1] or as a solid-state storage drive.

The establishment of the JEIDA interface and cards across Japanese portables provoked a response from the US government, through SEMATECH,[citation needed] and thus PCMCIA was born.

PCMCIA and JEIDA worked to solve this rift between the two competing standards, and merged into JEIDA 4.0 or PCMCIA 1.0 in 1990.

The JEIDA memory card was used in earlier ThinkPad models, where IBM branded them as IC DRAM Cards.
