Abstract
An apparatus for controlling at least one electronic device is coupled to a host. The apparatus includes a controller and a non-volatile storage unit. The controller is controlled by a driver of the host to thereby control the operation of the electronic device. The non-volatile storage unit is externally coupled to the controller and used for storing data. When the driver is activated, it is determined whether the non-volatile storage unit stores a setting data utilized for the driver. If the setting data for the driver is stored in the non-volatile storage unit, the setting data of the driver is read out for setting the driver.
