Abstract

A process for the transmission of data between a processor and a mass memory unit, initialization and/or control commands are transmitted via a PCMCIA interface to the mass memory unit, while user data, however, are transmitted via a memory interface. Accordingly, a device for the transmission of data between a processor and an (ATA) mass memory unit has a driver designed for switching over the transmission paths of initialization and/or control commands via a PCMCIA interface and of user data via a memory interface.
