STORAGE CONTROLLER, STORAGE CARD, MAGNETIC DISK DRIVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid storage controller which is defined as storage compatible with an IDE (ATA) hard disk with simplex, and partitions a memory area into a RAM area and a ROM area.;SOLUTION: An SDI/O storage controller H20 of an SDI/O hybrid storage card H10 has an SDI/O interface controller H22, an SCSI/ATAPI host controller H24 having an SCSI/ATAPI interface and an SCSI/ATAPI slave controller H26 having the SCSI/ATAPI interface. Thus, an SCSI/ATAPI bridge function and a LUN function are added to the SDI/O storage controller.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
