The card information structure (CIS) is information stored on a PC card that contains information about the formatting and organization of the data on the card. The CIS also contains information about:
- The type of card
- Supported power supply options
- Supported power saving features
- The manufacturer
- Model number
- and so on.
When a card is unrecognized it is frequently because the CIS information is either lost or damaged.
