1. A computing system, comprising:
a computing device;
an interface device;
an input data path connecting said interface device to said computing device, said input data path having at least two data relays and at least one buffer memory for temporarily storing data
each of said at least two data relays having respective first and second terminals and a respective central terminal, and each of said at least two data relays configured to selectively interconnect either said first terminal and said central terminal thereof or said second terminal and said central terminal thereof, and to leave said first and second terminals constantly disconnected from each other;
said at least two data relays including at least a first data relay and a second data relay, said first terminal of said first data relay being connected to said interface device and said second terminal of said first data relay being connected directly through said second data relay or indirectly through said second data relay and one or more additional data relays to said computing device; and
said central terminal of said first data relay being connected to said at least one buffer memory, and said at least one buffer memory being selectively connected by said first data relay exclusively to said interface device or to said second terminal of said first data relay, but not simultaneously to both of said interface device and said second terminal of said first data relay.
