A pocket interface unit for a smart diskette. The smart diskette has a housing of the shape and size of a standard diskette, electrical contacts and/or a magnetic transducer, an activation switch, and further has an interface, a processor and memory disposed in the housing and operatively coupled to the electrical contacts/magnetic transducer. The interface unit includes a frame adapted to removably attach to the smart diskette housing, electrical contacts and/or magnetic transducer for engaging corresponding electrical contacts and/or magnetic transducer on the smart diskette, a switch operating mechanism for operating an activation switch on the smart diskette when the smart diskette is attached to the frame, a display operatively coupled to the electrical contacts and/or magnetic transducer, for displaying text and/or graphical data under control of the smart diskette, and a plurality of user actuatable keys, operatively coupled to the electrical contacts and/or magnetic transducer, for facilitating user input of data under the control of the smart diskette. The pocket interface unit thereby provides a user interface with the smart diskette.
