A multi-specification read/write signal transmission module for silicon disks, it is provided on the center of a &ldquo;U&rdquo; shaped base with a partitioning plate, an upper and a lower lid, so that the base is formed therein a first and a second receiving chamber. The first receiving chamber is provided therein at least with a vertically contacting pin set, and the second receiving chamber is provided therein at least with a horizontally contacting pin set, in order that when silicon disks with different specifications are individually inserted into the first or the second receiving chamber, they can contact respectively with the vertically contacting pin set or the horizontally contacting pin set. In this way, the module of the present invention can suit all the silicon disks.

A combined flash memory card driver can be built in or externally connected to a computer or any other digital product to meet consumers' needs for data storage with the flash memory cards. The combined flash memory card driver provides a kind of universal socket suitable for SM, MMC, MS, and SD cards and another kind of universal socket suitable for Type I and Type II CF cards or Type I, Type II and Type III PC cards to access data in any of above flash memory cards. In addition to support all flash memory cards, shortcomings such as easy resulting in confusion, misunderstanding and damage caused in the conventional flash memory card drivers due to a design with three sockets and a transmission unit thereof combining IDE/ATAPI, USB, PCMCIA, and 1394 interfaces.

A silicon disk drive with few slots for plural disks capable of being built in or externally connected with a main frame of a computer or any digital product, it satisfies the requirements of consumers of various groups of people by the function of reading and writing silicon disks (portable memory cards). The silicon disk drive provides a slot to suit insertion of SM, MM, MS and SD cards, and provides another slot to suit insertion of Type I, Type II or Type I CF card, or Type II or Type III PCMCIA card, in this way, data in the files of any of the above silicon disks can be read and written. And it can be assisted with provision of the design of the IDE/ATAPE, USB or 1934 delivery unit, in order that the silicon disk drive having a single slot or two slots not only for reading and writing on and for insertion of the now available silicon disks, but also for solving the long pending problems of confusing, misleading and being subjected to damage of the conventional techniques with more than three slots.

A silicon disk card with a USB plug includes an electric circuit board with at least one flash memory and a bridging chip, and a module in the shape of a rectangular frame formed by injection molding of plastic. The module is provided on one side thereof with an interface pin board, and on the opposite side thereof with a slot to receive the USB plug therein, the slot having a leading function to lead the USB plug out of the module. The silicon disk card with the USB plug has the function of twin interface data transmitting, the bridging chip being used therein to decide which interface is seeking access to data in the flash memories.

Small silicon disk card with a USB plug

An integral multiplex adapter card, it is provided in a housing meeting the size specification of a CF card with an electric circuit board assembly, the housing has thereon a receiving cassette. The electric circuit board assembly is provided on a single base plate thereof with a CF connecting end, a USB connecting end, a common chip set and a set of contact pins. In this way, a small silicon disk including an MS card, SD card or MMC card etc. can be inserted into the receiving cassette of the housing to output data on the silicon disks through the CF connecting end or the USB connecting end. Therefore, silicon disks of different specifications can be used for various digital products each with a CF card interface or a USB interface; these silicon disks thus can have commonness in use. Thereby, this can increase convenience of use of the digital products with a CF card interface or a USB interface each.
