Analog Data Generating And Processing Device For Use With A Personal Computer

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 first 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 transmit/receive device. The interface device ( 10 ) is configured 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 first 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 first connecting device ( 12 ) which signals to the host device that it is communicating with an input/output device.
