Abstract
A method and a device for controlling data transmission between IDE apparatuses allow an IDE controller of an IDE control device to send read control signal to an IDE apparatus via a set of IDE interfaces and a signal control transmission line and then to send write control signal to another IDE apparatus via another set of IDE interfaces and another signal control transmission line. Thus, the output data from the IDE apparatus through the data transmission line can be accelerated the transmission speed thereof between IDE apparatuses so as to save the time for transmitting data.
Claims5
A method for controlling data between IDE apparatuses, comprising following steps:
- (1) an IDE controller sending read control signal to an IDE apparatus;
- (2) The IDE apparatus transmitting output data to a data transmission line;
- (3) The IDE controller sending write control signal to another IDE apparatuses within a time interval resulting from a cycle of the read control signal;
- and
- (4) Said another IDE apparatuses receiving the output data from the data transmission line and the output data being written in said another IDE apparatus.
A device for controlling data between IDE apparatuses, comprising
- an IDE controller, being associated with two IDE interfaces and each of the IDE interfaces having a transmission end respectively;
- a data transmission line, connecting with the respective transmission end of the two IDE interfaces;
- two further interfaces, each of the two further interfaces having a transmission end respectively;
- another data transmission line, connecting with the respective transmission end of the two further interfaces;
- a switch chip, being connected to the two data transmission lines respectively;
- and
- two control signal transmission lines, connecting with one of the interfaces and one of said further interfaces respectively.
