Abstract

A non-volatile memory including a logical/physical address control table for controlling data recorded discretely in the non-volatile memory composed of a plurality of blocks each serving as a data deletion unit and including adjacent pages which each have a fixed length and serve as a data read/write unit. An operand data block includes operand identification data that indicates data stored in the operand data block is, in fact, operand data. The logical/physical control table block located in the non-volatile memory includes control-table identification data that indicates that data that is stored therein is, in fact, control table data that includes logical addresses and physical addresses.
