Abstract
A drive device and method of reading from or writing to a record carrier are provided, where data is input or output via an interface using a first format according to a first file system. In the drive device, the first format is mapped to a second format according to a second file system used on the record carrier. This allows using different storage technology with the same interface, such as using a hard-disc based Microdrive with a Compact Flash interface.
