Addonics Technologies today announced a pair of SCSI solutions,
which convert common ATAPI devices and IDE hard drives to
high-speed SCSI devices on all Windows, Macintosh, and Linux-based
computers. Addonics also announced its Addonics SCSI LVD160
controller -- a high performance single channel Ultra160 SCSI
PCI host controller with 160MB/sec. data throughput.
The Addonics ATAPI to SCSI and IDE to SCSI converters make
high-speed SCSI throughput affordable for any system. Users
having difficulty sourcing SCSI storage devices or reluctant
to invest in higher-priced SCSI drives can convert common
ATAPI and IDE devices to SCSI drives.
With the Addonics ATAPI to SCSI converter low-cost ATAPI
devices such as DVD-R/RW, CDRW, DVD, CD-ROM, ZIP or Magneto
Optical (MO) drives immediately become a SCSI device. There
are no drivers to install and the converter works with any
operating system. The converter also supports SCSI performance
up to the Ultra LVD80 SCSI standard, ensures maximum performance
of the fastest ATAPI drive as well as minimizing any impact
on the performance of other devices in the SCSI chain.
Conversion is simple. Users merely attach the Addonics converter
to the back of any ATAPI device. Attach the power cable to
the converter and ATAPI device and then attach the SCSI cable
to the converter to achieve SCSI throughput in three quick
steps.
The Addonics IDE to SCSI converter is similar to the ATAPI
to SCSI Converter but converts low-cost IDE drives to SCSI
drives.
Both converters are compatible with DOS, Windows 95, 98SE,
Me, 2000, XP, NT, Linux and Macintosh and support all SCSI
standards up to LVD160 with selectable SCSI IDs from 0-15.
List price of the ATAPI to SCSI Converter is $109 and $99
for the IDE to SCSI converter.
Addonics SCSI LVD160 Controller - Speed and Value for Desktop
Systems and File Servers
The new Addonics SCSI LVD 160 is a single channel Ultra160
SCSI PCI host controller that supports PCI 32-bit bus master
transfer and full PCI enhanced data transfer commands to ensure
reliable and fast data transfer rate of 160MB/sec.
When combined with Addonics' ATAPI/IDE to SCSI Converters
users can build a cost-effective solution for adding up to
15 SCSI devices to workstations or file severs that require
uncompromising storage performance.
The Addonics SCSI LVD 160 features a built-in 32-bit RISC
SCSI engine with support for SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3, Ultra
SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI and Ultra160 SCSI. Operating system support
includes Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, and Linux. The device
supports flash BIOS upgrades.
List price of the Addonics SCSI LVD 160 Controller is $169,
which includes a 26-inch LVD160 certified connecting cable
with three connectors, LVD160 terminator, and user guide.
