Abstract
A method for implementing substantially all vendor unique commands in a host computer instead of an electronic store device. Alternative vendor unique commands are provided to implement a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol to implement vendor unique commands resident in the host computer with functions in the storage device. The storage device functions are substantially only the functions needed for normal, non vendor unique electronic storage device (ESD) operation. To facilitate access from the host computer to ESD functions, data, and constants, a symbol table of the storage device's software is used. The resulting system provides for a smaller code footprint in the storage device and easier to maintain and enhance function in the host computer.
