A system for interfacing a multi-interface card to a non-standard
interface is provided. The system includes a detection module that
detects an input signal; and a switching module that operationally
couples the multi-interface card to an interface based on the input
signal. The switching module operationally couples the multi-interface
card to a serial interface, a USB interface, a PCMCIA interface or to any
non-PCMCIA interface. The system also provides a docking device that is
coupled to a computing device, for interfacing a multi-interface card to
non-standard interfaces. The docking device includes an interface that
receives the multi-interface card; detection logic for detecting the
multi-interface card; and a converter that receives signal from the
multi-interface card and converts the signals based on an interface that
couples the docking device to the computing system.
