Abstract
A multi-interface memory card and an adapter module for the memory card are described to enable convenient transfer of data between the memory card and a computer. The multi-interface memory card has a micro controller, a memory unit, a USB interface, an IEEE 1394 interface, and a product interface. The memory unit is connected to the micro controller, such that external computers or electronic products can read data from or write data to said memory unit under the control of the micro controller. The USB and IEEE 1394 interfaces are connected to the memory unit via the micro controller for controlling data access. The product interface is provided for connecting to a digital product to read or write data. The adapter module is provided to conveniently connect the multi-interface memory card to the computer.
