Abstract:

A controller for a writable optical media is presented. The controller includes a write control sequencer that monitors the transmission of data from a host device to the writable optical media without continuous supervision from a microcomputer. The write control sequencer monitors and controls data flow in response to descriptors which are loaded into the controller prior to the transfer by a microprocessor.
