Abstract

A multi-interface memory card and an adapter module for the memory card are disclosed to enable convenient transfer of data between the memory card and a computer. The multi-interface memory card has a micro controller (10), a memory unit (20), a USB interface (31), an IEEE
1394 interface (32), and a product interface (40). The memory unit (20) is connected to the micro controller (10), such that external computers or electronic products can read data from or write data to said memory unit (20) under the control of the micro controller (10). The USB and IEEE
1394 interfaces (31,32) are connected to the memory unit (20) via the micro controller (10) for controlling data access. The product interface (40) is provided for connecting to a digital product to read or write data.
