HuCard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For HU cards in DirecTV, see DirecTV#Access_card_history.
A HuCard is a memory card developed by Hudson Soft with the size of a credit card and were used with the NEC PC Engine and SuperGrafx video game consoles. A HuCard contains an integrated circuit (IC) that is placed close to the connectors and protected by a thin plastic shield. Compared to the more traditional cartridges used by almost every game console system, the HuCard is relatively small and compact.
Een HuCard can be compared with a BeeCard, also a memory card developed by Hudson Soft which was used with MSX computers. A BeeCard is slightly thinner and contains 32 connectors where the HuCard has 38 pins.
[edit] Trivia
In the United States are known as TurboChips, named after the US-version of the Japanese PC Engine the TurboGrafx.
