  • Storage controller emulator providing transparent resource sharing in a computer system
    Patent number: 4792896
    Abstract: A microprocessor controlled mass storage controller is used as an interface for mass storage devices which are shared by a plurality of stand-alone microcomputer systems. The microprocessor controlled mass storage controller has a system interface which maintains communications with a host microcomputer; a dedicated microprocessor which maintains the internal control of the controller and a network interface which maintains an access to the external network. Data transparency and integrity are achieved through the simulation by the controller of the mass storage device characteristics and responses.
