  • Switching means for directly controlling operation of data storage devices, data storage/reproducing devices, and data reproducing devices
    Patent number: 6304920
    Abstract: A storage device for directly fetching external data and for relaying the transfer of data, wherein a CD-R drive unit 13 is provided, as a data input device, with a computer input/output terminal 35, a card reader unit 18 for reading the data of a PC card 20, an infrared ray communication port 16, and a modular jack 17. When switches 26 and 28 are horizontally connected in the drawing, the data fetched by data input devices other than the computer input/output terminal 35 are written into a CD-R 32 and are stored. When a switch 34 is flipped to the left tilted direction in the drawing, the data written into the CD-R 32 are read out and output to the body 12 of a desk-top personal computer.
