Abstract
It is intended to make it possible to deal with an electronic apparatus as if it were a different kind of electronic apparatus. An editor outputs a command to be used in controlling a video cassette recorder to a 1394 communication section via an IEEE 1394 bus. A system controller receives the command according to the IEEE 1394 interface via a LINK and converts it into a command according to the IDE interface, which is output to an IDE controller. The IDE controller converts data that is input via the LINK and a FIFO memory into a command according to the IDE interface and supplies it to a HDD via an IDE interface.
