Abstract:
1. A control system for memory storage device having two different interfaces, comprising: an application IC chip comprising an IDE interface, an USB interface, a CPU, a buffer, a ROM, a power circuit and a plurality of memory cards; wherein said application IC is capable of connecting to an USB electronic device through said USB interface and also an IDE portable information product through said IDE interface; wherein said USB electronic device is capable of communicating with said CPU of said application IC for retrieving information from said memory cards or storing information into said memory cards that are connected with a memory card interface, and when the USB electronic device stops operation, said IDE portable information product is capable of communicating with said CPU of said application IC for retrieving information from said memory cards or storing information into said memory cards that are connected with the memory card interface, wherein a USB mode is a priority transmission mode for said application IC, said IDE interface being able to operate only when said USB interface is not operating or unavailable, and when said IDE portable information device that is connected to said IDE interface is operating, the system will deny any interruption from said USB electronic device that is connected to said USB interface, and wherein once said IDE portable information product completes an operation, then a interruption command from said USB device can be executed.
