- EXOR output exclusive OR
- the response receiving unit 101b shown in Fig. 1 only needs to read the storage device information held in the first field F1. It is necessary to include a function that determines whether the check pattern matches the result of the same or necessary processing as the transmitted check pattern. Further, the response transmission unit 202b needs to process the check pattern received by the host device as it is, or perform a predetermined operation to make a check pattern to be returned to the third field. In this way, the host function information can be transmitted to the storage device side as well as future expansion is possible, and the communication quality can be recognized on the storage device side and the host side.
