Abstract: An apparatus includes a multi-format memory card drive having a multi-format memory card slot configured to receive any of a plurality of memory cards having a corresponding plurality of memory card formats. At least one of the plurality of memory cards has a memory card format that is different from another memory card format of the plurality of memory card formats. A bezel is configured for installation over the multi-format memory card slot. The bezel is configured to select a subset of the plurality of memory card formats that can be received by the multi-format memory card slot of the multi-format memory card drive.

Abstract: A computer system for high-performance video and audio manipulations comprising a locked memory cartridge and an audio/video/compact disk (CD) drive controller/coprocessor. The computer system has a central processing unit (CPU) with at least one bus associated therewith, with the bus having at least one bus line. The cartridge comprises a readable memory, a memory control circuit, a lock control circuit, and a connector all in circuit communication with each other. The connector allows the memory, the memory control circuit, and the lock control circuit to be pluggably connected in circuit communication with the CPU. The memory control circuit scrambles some of the bus lines, thereby scrambling the data in the memory on reset, and unscrambles the bus lines responsive to inputs from the lock control circuit. The lock control circuit monitors the bus, waiting for a proper combination of bus values to be asserted onto the bus, at which time the lock control circuit causes the memory control circuit to unscramble the bus lines. The audio/video/CD drive controller/coprocessor comprises a CPU interface, a CPU cache, a memory controller, a memory bus arbitrator, a DRAM refresher, a video controller, a CD drive controller, a digital signal processor (DSP) sound coprocessor, and a “blitter” graphics coprocessor in an integrated package.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer system supporting multiple, removable ROM-based applications without requiring the ROM-applications to be inserted into a particular slot. The computer system accepts one or more cartridges into any combination of slots. Once a cartridge is inserted into a slot, the computer system senses the insertion of a cartridge. The computer system then determines whether to swap the address ranges associated with the cartridge connectors, or slots. The address swap is implemented by either (i) swapping the cartridge connector chip selects or (ii) performing a page swap with the memory management unit.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供一种支持多个可移动的基于ROM的应用的计算机系统，而不需要将ROM应用插入到特定的时隙中。 计算机系统将一个或多个墨盒接受到插槽的任意组合中。 一旦将墨盒插入插槽中，则计算机系统检测墨盒的插入。 计算机系统然后确定是否交换与盒式连接器或插槽相关联的地址范围。 地址交换通过（i）交换盒式连接器芯片选择或（ii）与存储器管理单元进行页面交换来实现。
