Patent ID: 8157575

Claim:
A combination terminal comprising: a first logic circuit configured to interface with a first insertable device using a first protocol; a second logic circuit configured to interface with a second insertable device using a second protocol, wherein the first protocol and the second protocol are different; a retractable portion, comprising a first plurality of contacts, configured to: retract based upon an insertion of the second insertable device; connect a first portion of the first insertable device with the first logic circuit using the first plurality of contacts; and select an active logic circuit from the first logic circuit or the second logic circuit; and a static portion, comprising a second plurality of contacts, configured to: connect the second insertable device with the second logic circuit using the second plurality of contacts; and connect a second portion of the first insertable device with the first logic circuit using the second plurality of contacts, wherein the first insertable device is connected to the first logic circuit based upon the first plurality of contacts in conjunction with the second plurality of contacts.
