Abstract

An access device of a memory card comprises a substrate for providing a receiving space. The substrate is positioned in an expanding slot of a system mainframe. The receiving space of the substrate has a control panel. The control panel has a control IC for accessing and converting signal formats of a memory card. At an end for outputting data signal on the control panel has a data wire for outputting signals from the control panel. The data wire is directly connected to a specific interface in a mother board of a system. Another data wire connected in parallel with the data wire is connected to an external interface of a back plate of the mainframe so that the external interface is still utilized by other devices. Thereby, the data inputted to the memory card can be accessed directly from the system mainframe without any external device.

Claims

1. An access device of a memory card comprising a substrate for providing a receiving space;

the substrate being positioned in an expanding slot of a system mainframe;

the receiving space of the substrate having a control panel;

the control panel having a control IC for accessing and converting signal formats of a memory card;

at an end for outputting data signal on the control panel having a first data wire for outputting signals from the control panel;

the first data wire being directly connected to a specific interface in a mother board of a system;

a second data wire connected in parallel with the first data wire being connected to an external interface of a back plate of the mainframe so that the external interface is still utilized by other devices.

2. The access device of a memory card as claimed in claim 1, wherein the specific is a USB interface.

3. The access device of a memory card as claimed in claim 1, wherein a front surface of the substrate is a connecting panel for connecting to the memory card;

the connecting panel has a plurality of slots;

a back surface of the connecting panel has a signal connecting means;

thereby, when the memory card is inserted into the connecting panel;

the memory card will be in contact with the connecting means, causing the data signal to be transferred to the circuit of the control panel.
