Abstract
An apparatus includes a socket, a computer-readable medium, and a controller. The socket is capable of interfacing with different types of storage medium. The computer-readable medium is operable for storing a computer-executable universal driver associated with a first operation mode and compatible with each of the types of storage medium, and for storing a computer-executable dedicated driver associated with a second operation mode and compatible with only a subset of the types of storage medium. The controller is operable for selecting a selected driver from the universal driver and the dedicated driver if a storage medium is inserted into the socket and for operating in a corresponding operation mode to exchange data information with the storage medium according to the selected driver. The selected driver includes the dedicated driver if the storage medium is a member of the subset and otherwise the selected driver includes the universal driver.
