ABSTRACT:
A removable memory card interface apparatus enables a removable memory card to communicate with a number of peripheral devices directly without the need for the memory card's host or a host computer. The interface apparatus includes a micro-controller operating with an internal bus to control, process and route signals between the removable memory and a peripheral device via a series of memory and device interfaces. A control panel and/or remote control allows a user to interact with the interface apparatus. In one embodiment, the interface apparatus also allows a host computer to communicate with the memory card via one of the peripheral device ports. In other embodiments, the interface apparatus serves as a memory card printer controller or as a memory card player and/or recorder when interfaced with consumer electronics.
