Abstract
In order to access a memory card of the ATA specification, a computer generates a command based on the USB. A conversion controller in a reader/writer receives the command and converts it into a command of the ATA specification and supplies it to a controller of the ATA specification. The controller accesses the memory card based on the command of the ATA specification thus supplied. The conversion controller converts the formats of the data of the USB specification and the data of the ATA specification to each other. Consequently, the computer can access the memory card of the ATA specification constituting a conventional standard product using the USB of serial communication smaller in the area occupied by the connector.
