Abstract

Interfacing device (100) for the connection of peripheral devices (300) to a computer (200), the peripheral devices comprising one or more internal functions and/or registries, characterised in that it comprises an emulating unit (1) connected to at least a peripheral device (300) and to at least a computer (200), the emulating unit (1) presenting to said at least a computer (200) a predetermined, apparent I/O addressing, which is accessible to said at least a computer, of said one or more internal functions and/or registries, so that, in consequence of a write operation from said at least a computer (200) on at least a file corresponding to said predetermined apparent I/O addressing, the emulating unit (1) selects the writing information content from the files transmitted from the computer (200) and sends it to at least one of said one or more internal functions and/or registries, and vice versa, in consequence of a read operation from file from said at least a computer (200), it builds the reading information content to be transmitted to the computer (200) on the basis of the information content of at least one of these internal functions and/or registries.
