<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a write protection function installed in a memory card. <P>SOLUTION: A memory card 20 includes a controller 21, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory 22, and a switch 23. The switch 23 includes three contact points to be selected (contact points 231, 232, and 233 to be selected), a common contact point 234, and an external switch 235. By the user's switching operation for the external switch 235, the common contact point 234 and one of the contact points to be selected are connected, and one of the write protection states set up by a host apparatus 10 is selected. According to the selected write protection state, the controller 21 performs data processing to the nonvolatile semiconductor memory 22 based on the file system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
