Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for emulating a rotating disk drive using a removable ferroelectric solid state storage device having a parallel data interface in a microprocessor controlled storage system. The removable ferroelectric solid state storage device has non-volatile memory integrated circuit components in a ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) pack. The ferroelectric memory pack utilizes read/write recording techniques as those for transferring data between a host computer and a rotating disk drive.
