Abstract

A USB-IDE adapter (204) for connecting two or more IDE devices (208, 210, 212) to a USB device (202). The USB device (202) communicates with each IDE device using a connection identifier associated with the USB connection (206) and a unique identifier associated with each IDE connection (214, 216, 218). The USB-IDE adapter (204) may be integrated within the USB device (202), or as a separate component connected to the USB device (202).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for connecting multiple IDE devices to a USB device, and more particularly, to a method and system for connecting multiple IDE devices to a USB device using a single USB-IDE adapter. Background technique [0002] Typically, many electronic devices include one or more USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectors or ports. The USB connectors allow electronic devices to connect to various USB devices, such as printers, scanners, and mass storage devices. Communication between an electronic device and a USB mass storage device is managed by various protocols, including a transport protocol included in the USB mass storage device classification specification for the USB standard. [0003] Some mass storage devices predate the USB standard, for example, devices using the Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) interface. Therefore, IDE storage devices cannot be directly connected to electronic devices through USB co...
