断することができる。Figures 6 and 7 show examples of key symbols on the front and back sides of the memory card 2. Data can be entered on the front side and RA
A key symbol corresponding to the store mode for writing to M25 is printed, and a key symbol corresponding to the read mode for reading and displaying data from the RAM 25 is printed on the back side. By the circuit shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 5 Even if they try to access the same address, the address data input to the ROM 24 is different. Therefore, when the memory card 2 is inserted into the information processing main body 1 with the front side facing up and a command is entered from the transparent touch key 4 according to the key symbol of the store mode, the application program for processing the store mode is read from the ROM 24. executed. In addition, when the memory card 2 is inserted into the information processing main body 1 with the back side facing up and a command is input from the transparent touch key 4 according to the key symbol of the read mode, the application program that processes this read mode is activated.
It is read out from OM24 and executed. The same address is specified in the RAM 25 whether the memory card 2 is on the front or back side, and therefore data written in the store mode can be read out as is in the read mode. In this case, the user can see at a glance whether the memory card 2 is installed in the information processing unit 1 with the front side facing up or the back side facing up, so the user can check whether the process currently being executed is in store mode or straight mode. can be easily determined.
