Addonics Technologies Inc. has announced a pair of SCSI solutions
(ATAPI to SCSI and IDE to SCSI converters) that convert common
ATAPI devices and IDE hard drives to high-speed SCSI devices
on Mac, Windows and Linux-based computers.
The US$109 ATAPI to SCSI converter allows ATAPI devices such
as DVD-R/RW, CDRW, DVD, CD-ROM, ZIP or Magneto Optical (MO)
drives to be used as a SCSI device. There are no drivers to
install, and the converter works with any operating system,
according to the folks at Addonics. The converter also supports
SCSI performance up to the Ultra LVD80 SCSI standard. You
just attach the Addonics converter to the back of any ATAPI
device, attach the power cable to the converter and ATAPI
device, then attach the SCSI cable to the converter to achieve
SCSI throughput.
The $99 IDE to SCSI converter is similar to the ATAPI to
SCSI Converter but converts IDE drives to SCSI drives. Both
converters support all SCSI standards up to LVD160 with selectable
SCSI IDs from 0-15.
