Abstract
A storage control device, connected to a host processing device through a full-duplex channel and for storing data received through the channel in a data storage means, comprises a plurality of channel processors for conducting a data-input-and-output process to the data storage means in correspondence with a command contained in data (a frame) sent from the host processing device through the channel, and a channel processor, among the plurality of channel processors, is assigned for executing the data-input-and-output process for the data (frame) according to a type of command contained in the data (frame). Thus, the storage control device of the present invention can use the full-duplex channel efficiently.
