Abstract
A flash memory controller translates between manufacturer-specific protocols to allow the flash memories of one manufacturer to be used transparently in a host system programmed for the memory devices of different manufacturer. According to the invention, the controller indicates the manufacturer's ID code the host system requires irrespective of the flash memories used. The scheme employed permits translation even when there is no one-to-one correspondence between the parts of the different protocols being used.
