Abstract

A multi-function ultrabase comprises a base member, a Mass Storage Device Interface, at least one Universal Serial Bus (USB), and a plurality of connectors (PS/2 connector and COM ports). Wherein, the USB connector is locate at the base member for connecting with a notebook or a desktop; An Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) Interface is located at the base member to connect to a Mass Storage Device and to couple the base member and the Mass Storage Device. The Mass Storage Device can be connected to the computer device by the USB connector; A plurality of connectors are located at the base member for connecting multiple related I/O device. Making the multiple related I/O device connect to the computer device by the USB connector.
