Cooperative Interconnection and Operation of a Non-Volatile Memory Card and an Input-Output Card
First Claim
1. A method of communicating data between a non-volatile memory card connected with a host system and an external device, comprising electrically and mechanically attaching an input-output card to the memory card and communicating data between the memory card and the external device through the input-output card rather than through the host system.

Abstract
Very small non-volatile memory cards are modified to include a connector to which a connector on a separate data input-output card electrically and mechanically mates when pushed together. The input-output card transfers data directly between an external device and the non-volatile memory, without having to go through the host to which the memory card is connected. The input-output card communicates with the external device through a wired or a wireless communication channel.
