Well spotted.  I missed this one.  PCI is NOT the same as PCMCIA.  The type
of hardware being described here is PCI.  As stated earlier here, PCMCIA
hardware is generally seen in laptops and is designed to be easily removed
and inserted.  PCI hardware is the typical desktop card that is screwed
inside the machine.
