Low-Profile PCI has two card lengths defined for 32-bit cards, MD1 and MD2. The purpose of MD1 and MD2 is to establish size limits for system designers. MD1 is the shortest card offering and poses the greatest challenge to adapter-card vendors. However, MD1 cards also allow for the smallest system design. Systems which are designed to support both MD1 and MD2 card lengths will have the greatest flexibility in supporting all Low-Profile PCI compliant cards.
