Abstract
In a method of communications between a host system and a memory card with an asynchronous transmission protocol, a message from the card is sent out in response to a control instruction comprising a character or a sequence of several characters in a predetermined format. The protocol is modified so as to have the dispatch of each message or of each character of a message preceded by a detection, by the card, of a response request instruction sent out by the host system.
