Panasonic may refer to any of the following:
1. Panasonic is a company, see the Panasonic company page for additional information about the company and their contact information.
2. Alternatively called the Matsushita Kotobuki Electronics or MKE interface, the Panasonic interface is a proprietary interface to connect CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) drives to PC systems. The interface is usually part of a sound card. For example, Creative Labs uses a Panasonic style (40-pin flat ribbon cable) for their older Sound Blaster cards. The Panasonic interface does not require an IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest), but communicates directly through the port address. Today, this interface is seldomly used.
