ABSTRACT:
An electronic device has a host processor system having an AT Attachment (ATA) mass storage interface having a single channel. The electronic device further has at least three mass storage device ports that are capable of accepting ATA mass storage devices. A method for interfacing the mass storage devices to the ATA single channel interface provides the host processor access to all the ATA mass storage devices.
