摘要:
In a PC card to be connected to a personal computer, two kinds of operational modes which are different in data bus width from each other can be changed over selectively. Either the CardBus mode with a data bus width of 32 bits or the 16-bit mode is selectable by a selector switch provided in a side face. The PC card 1 is operated in the 16-bit mode for use with a 16-bit-compatible personal computer, and operated in the 32-bit mode for use with a 32-bit-compatible personal computer. Thus, one PC card is useable with various personal computers.

An electronic device can operate as an external device of an information processing apparatus. The electronic device includes a connecting unit for connecting to the information processing apparatus, a command processor for processing a command sent from the information processing apparatus through the connecting unit, a rechargeable battery, a charging controller for controlling a charging operation of the rechargeable battery, and an operating mode managing unit which, when the connecting unit is connected to an interface having a power-supply function, selects one of a normal operating mode in which the electronic device operates as the external device of the information processing apparatus, and a charging mode in which the electronic device stops operating as the external device of the information processing apparatus and charges the rechargeable battery. The command processor processes the command in accordance with the selected operating mode.
