An interface module and method to provide interfacing of removable digital storage devices (DSDs) to a host system, the interface module having multiple interfaces for the connection of digital storage devices, e.g. Compact Flash (86), a host communication means including a processor (110) for providing a communication channels to transport data (12) and other signals (18) between the digital storage device and the host system and means including a processor (110) for presenting data held on a connected DSD to the host system. Data contained in a DSD is presented to the host system in a transparent manner, that is the data appears as part of a local file or drive hierarchy without the intervention of the user. The invention enables constantly connecting and disconnecting different types of DSD which follow different protocols, without invoking installation routines, system error conditions, or other procedures involving heavy software or time overheads. |
