Abstract

A combined ATA and SATA controller is provided that comprises a control unit 300-330 for controlling data transfer to and/or from an ATA compliant parallel storage device (135, 140) and a control unit (335, 340) for controlling data transfer to and/or from an SATA compliant serial storage device (220, 225). The controller can concurrently perform the data transfer to and/or from the parallel and serial devices. By reusing a significant amount of controller hardware, the combined controller can be realized in a cost effective manner.
