`
`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`An interface device (10) provides fast data communication
`between a host device with input/output interfaces and a data
`transmit/receive device, wherein the interface device (10)
`comprises a processor means (13), a memory means (14), a
`?rst connecting device (12) for interfacing the host device
`with the interface device, and a second connecting device (15)
`for interfacing the interface device (10) with the data trans
`mit/receive device. The interface device (10) is con?gured by
`the processor means (13) and the memory means (14) in such
`a way that, when receiving an inquiry from the host device via
`the ?rst connecting device (12) as to the type of a device
`attached to the host device, regardless of the type of the data
`transmit/receive device, the interface device sends a signal to
`the host device via the ?rst connecting device (12) which
`signals to the host device that it is communicating with an
`input/ output device.
