<p>A system and method for detecting the identification of the type of card' (12) that is installed in an input/output interface (16) for interconnecting first (10) and second electronic devices, such as a peripheral device (10) and a peripheral control device is disclosed. The cards may be smart or peripheral dependent cards (12) which have different functionality and configuration. Upon start-up, the peripheral device (10) generates a reset signal which causes the card to generate a digital identification that is received by the peripheral device (10). If the identification indicates that it is a type of card (12) that the peripheral device (10) supports, then the peripheral device (10) operates in the manner specified for that type of card (12). <IMAGE></p> |
