ABSTRACT:
A disk controller (HDC) reads requested data from a disk in accordance with a read command from a host system, and stores the data in a buffer memory. The HDC reads successive data, together with the requested data, and stores the data in the buffer memory. When a repeat access request is issued from the host system, the HDC temporarily stops disk access which has been continued. A CPU determines the amount of data stored in the buffer memory by disk access on the basis of a limit value set in a limit register. The HDC reads requested data corresponding to the repeat access request from the buffer memory and transfers the data to the host system.
