And the several pictures show that the card is about 9pins wide
and uses 7 wires.

But he doesn't give the SD's pin-out.
I'm looking for the pinout and the driver algorithm.

Can anybody help please.

== TIA.




Although this NewsGroup still functions well,
there are already many other previously good
NewsGroups which have been crowed-out by
the twittering-idiot-masses. To avoid further
displacement of the NNT-protocol by the
dumbed-down inefficient clik-blogs, we need
to take a stand.

That really gave me a chuckle ;-). Have never known something like that
exists, very funny.

The simplified specification is publically available at:

http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdcard/pls/Simplified_Physical_Layer_Spec.pdf

In terms of interfacing you are almost certainly best of using the
SPI interface since it is the best documented in terms of the freely
available specs. It is also a direct connection to any microcontroller
with an SPI interface. I wouldn't bother bodging the connection
- SD card connectors are readily available, e.g. the very first
supplier I checked:
