摘要：A CPU 1, responding to a key input from a keyboard (29), issues a parameterread-in command to an HDC (15). Upon receiving the parameter read-in command, theHDC (15) reads out from a predetermined sector of an HDD (17) parameters of the HDD

(17) such as the number of heads, the number of cylinders and the number of sectors pertrack. The read-out parameters are set in a sector buffer (15a), and the CPU 1 isinterrupted. In response to the interrupt signal, the CPU 1 reads the parameters fromthe HDC (15) and stores them in a battery backup memory. In addition, the CPU 1discriminates the type of the HDD (17) on the basis of the parameters and enables adisplay (33) to display the discriminated type and the parameters of the HDD (15).
