摘要

In a video reproducing apparatus such as a video game, operating devices and recording devices are connected with a simple structure to record game information while operating the game, and a plurality of small capacity of external secondary memory means can be used as a large capacity of external secondary memory means. The main body of the video game machine is connected to a plurality of the operating devices with a serial interface so that serial data is communicated bidirectionally in accordance with a predetermined communication procedure while at the same time connecting recording devices to the serial interface respectively corresponding to a plurality of operating devices to allow the main body of the game machine to write predetermined data into and read it from recording devices in accordance with a communication procedure. Moreover, the communication controller connected to the main bus to which the central processing unit of the main body of the machine is connected and a plurality of card connectors namely card slots where memory cards connected to the main bus via the communication controller are attached to or detached from freely are provided, and each card slot is independently controlled by the central processing unit via the communication controller to control the writing and/or reading of data extending over the plurality of external secondary memory means.
