Memory Card
Once your scenario is saved, you can transfer it to a memory card or 
USB storage device. You can use any of the following standard cards.

Be sure to use the transfer process described below to ensure that the 
scenario plays properly: 
1. Insert the memory card in your computer’s PCMCIA slot or 
connect the USB storage device.
2. Start EMP SlideMaker 2 (see page 94).
