Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a detection method used in a memory card adaptor and, more particularly, to a detection method used in an adaptor capable of inserting various kinds of memory cards. The present invention comprises mainly the steps of: a control device on an adaptor issuing an identification command to detect a memory card responsive to the identification command, and the control device issuing again a reset command to detect a reset-type memory card if there is no corresponding response; the control device continually awaiting a response signal if there is still no corresponding response; the control device entering a read/write mode corresponding to the memory card if a corresponding response is obtained after issuing the command; and the control device awaiting a read/write command of said master device. The present invention can effectively enhance detection and identification efficiency without the need of adding a hardware switching device.
