  • Memory card or chip card reader system
    Patent number: 6125405
    Abstract: A memory card or chip card reader system in which the reader is connected to a microcomputer by a connection link enabling the connection, in a branch, of another computer peripheral such as a printer. This link enables the transmission, to the reader, of at least one operation signal. Such a system makes it possible to provide for a reader that has no microprocessor and therefore has no processing function. Furthermore, the microprocessor can possess only one connector common to the reader and printer. Applications to microcomputer links and card readers.
