Abstract
A system and method for detecting the identification of the type of card that is installed in an input/output interface for interconnecting first and second electronic devices, such as a peripheral device and a peripheral control device is disclosed. The cards may be smart or peripheral dependent cards which have different functionality and configuration. Upon start-up, the peripheral device generates a reset signal which causes the card to generate a digital identification that is received by the peripheral device. If the identification indicates that it is a type of card that the peripheral device supports, then the peripheral device operates in the manner specified for that type of card.
