Abstract
Portable data carrier configurations with non-volatile semiconductor memories serve as rapid-access storage media for data processing systems. It is possible for a multiplicity of such data carrier configurations to be operated on a bus system. The data carrier configurations preferably contain a microprocessor which, for example, automatically creates an index file of files stored in the data carrier configuration and also searches for certain terms and actively or passively reports a search result on request from a PC or a microprocessor provided in a receiving adapter for the data carrier configurations.
