Universal storage interface bus
First Claim
1. A set of Universal Storage Interface Bus device, comprising an IDE storage device, providing a first interface;
- a ribbon cable, providing a first connector coupling with the IDE storage device and providing a second connector;
an USIB connector conversion board, providing a third connector, and a fourth connector, the third connector coupling with said second connector, converts the IDE signal and connector of the IDE data storage device into USIB signal coming out of the fourth connector, a standard MC-36 connector; and
an USIB interface conversion cable, providing a fifth connector, an USIB interface conversion board and a sixth connector, a cable being between and connecting with the USIB interface conversion board and the sixth connector, the fifth connector coupling with said fourth connector, and the sixth connector coupling with an input/out port of a personal computer;
whereby, the data storage device can be connected to the input/output port with any type of interface by way of replacing with the appropriate USIB interface conversion cable only.

Abstract
A Universal Storage Interface Bus external storage device comprises an IDE storage device, a ribbon cable, an USIB connector conversion board, an USIB interface conversion device containing an USIB interface conversion board, and an interface cable. The IDE data storage device couples with a first connector of the ribbon cable and the ribbon cable further has a second connector. The USIB connector conversion board has a third connector and a fourth connector, and the third connector couples with the second connector for converting a signal of the third connector into a signal of the fourth connector. The USIB interface conversion cable device provides a fifth connector, an USIB interface conversion board, and a sixth connector. A cable is between and connecting with the USIB interface conversion board and the sixth connector. The fifth connector couples with the fourth connector and the sixth connector thereof couples with an input/out port of a personal computer. The personal computer can connect with the data storage device by way of replacing the USIB interface conversion cable device in case of the input/output port providing an interface thereof different from that of the data storage device for saving the expense of the user.
