Claims
- 1. A removable toy information storage medium for use with playback equipment comprising:
- a housing;
- a memory storage device having one or more memory regions for storing at least one of image data or sound data;
- a printed circuit board disposed on said housing having a plurality of electrical contact points each contact point being associated with said one or more memory regions for selectively gaining access to said at least one of image data or sound data; and
- said housing, printed circuit board, memory storage device and electrical contact points cooperating to simulate the operation and appearance of a conventional storage medium.
- 2. The toy information storage medium of claim 1 wherein said memory storage device comprises an integrated circuit having at least one read only memory location for statically storing said at least one of image data or sound data.
- 3. The toy information storage medium of claim 1 wherein said memory storage device comprises at least one voice integrated circuit for storing sound data.
- 4. The toy information storage medium of claim 1 wherein the operation and appearance of a compact disc storage medium is simulated.
- 5. The toy information storage medium of claim 1 wherein said memory storage device further comprises a blank temporary storage means for recording at least one of image data or sound data.
- 6. A removable toy information storage medium adapted to simulate the operation and appearance of a conventional storage medium for use with playback equipment comprising:
- a first memory storage device having one or more memory regions for storing a first type of information;
- a second memory storage device having one or more memory regions for storing a second type of information related to said first type of information; and
- said first type and related second type of information being output to said playback equipment via a plurality of contacts associated with said one or more memory regions of said first and second memory storage devices for use cooperatively by said playback equipment.
- 7. The removable toy information storage medium of claim 6, wherein said first type of information comprises image data and wherein said second type of information comprises audio data.
- 8. A removable toy information storage medium adapted to simulate the operation and appearance of a conventional storage medium for use with playback equipment comprising:
- first and second opposing sides each having a surface area substantially greater than the surface area of any other side of said storage medium;
- an integrated circuit storage means having read only memory locations for storing at least one of image data or sound data and output means associated with said first opposing side
- an integrated circuit storage means having read only memory locations for storing at least one of image data or sound data and output means associated with said second opposing side; and
- said integrated circuit storage means and output means of said first and second opposing sides being selectively accessible for outputting information therefrom such that distinct information may be accessed from each of said first and second opposing sides.
