The San Jose, Calif.-based company said its ATAPI to SCSI
and IDE to SCSI converters attach to the back of a device.
The add-on lets common ATAPI devices such as DVD-R/RW, CDRW,
DVD, CD-ROM, ZIP or Magneto Optical (MO) drives into a SCSI
device, without having to install separate drivers.
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.
Addonics said its products are perfect for those having difficulty
sourcing SCSI storage devices or are reluctant to invest in
higher-priced SCSI drives. The ATAPI to SCSI Converter should
retail for $109 and $99 for the IDE to SCSI converter.
The company Wednesday also took the wraps off of its SCSI
LVD160 device, which boasts a single channel Ultra160 SCSI
PCI host controller with 160MB/sec. data throughput.
The new supports PCI 32-bit bus master transfer and full
PCI enhanced data transfer commands. When combined with Addonics'
ATAPI/IDE to SCSI Converters, the company said users can add
up to 15 SCSI devices to workstations or file severs.
The SCSI LVD 160 also 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. The device supports the same
range of operating systems as the converters as well as flash
BIOS upgrades.
The controller lists for $169 and includes a 26-inch LVD160
certified connecting cable with three connectors and LVD160
terminator.
