An extraction/retention arrangement for use with a PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) card features a tag which is attached to the card to provide for hand extraction of the card from a computer drive mechanism. The tag includes protrusions to prevent accidental extraction of the card by latching behind an interior lip of the drive mechanism, while enabling finger grip extraction of the card as is desired. The tag carries orientation indicia to insure that the card is properly inserted in the drive mechanism.
