Starting system of disk storage device and data reading/writing system of the same

摘要

The non-volatile memory like an EPROM is built in the disk storage device in association with the built-in processor. The non-volatile memory stores the directory data of the setting data necessary for loading the basic program to the computer. The non-volatile memory also stores the directory data of the stored disk data to omit track seek time of the head and rotation time of the disk during the data reading/writing operation. Thus, it is possible to shorten the preliminary starting time from power supply connection until the host computer is accessible to the disk storage device, and the access time at every data reading/writing operation.
