SCSI to PERTEC TAPE ADAPTOR (8844)
The Avax SCSI PERTEC tape adaptor enables users of standard Pertec interface tape drives to connect these units to the new generation of SCSI tape controllers. Owners of existing tape drives who are upgrading system types can now migrate their drive to the new system, thus avoiding the expense of replacing the unit.
The SCSI PERTEC adaptor provides hardware emulation to the SCSI host, thus avoiding the need for special drivers. Emulations are available for a variety of devices including Standard SCSI, IBM 9346, 9348 and DEC TK50.
The tape adaptor is available a board only, or as a complete sub-system housed in a small self contained chassis complete with universal power supply. Cables are provided with the complete unit to connect the unit to the tape drive and to the SCSI controller. Installation is simple and requires no modification to the tape drive. All tape densities are supported.
FEATURES
- 256kbytes buffer memory expandable to 1MB
- Single ended or differential SCSI interface
- Provides hardware emulation for attachment without special drivers.
- Supports all standard Pertec interface tape drives
- Asynchronous or Synchronous operation
- Transfer rate as high as 5.55 MBytes/sec (synchronous)
- Built in self test with indicators
QIC to SCSI TAPE ADAPTOR
The Avax QIC to SCSI interface is designed to allow a modern, high capacity SCSI interface tape drive to interface directly to the manufacturer supplied interface on any system that currently supports a low capacity (40 to 150MB) cartridge tape e.g. IBM S/36, Bull DPX series.
The drives directly replace the older drives and if the interface is used with a high capacity 1/4" tape drive, the new high capacity drive includes the ability to read the existing low capacity cartridges, thus ensuring that all existing data is still available to the user.
This interface is available:
- as a board level product
- as a standalone unit with power supply and cables
- or integrated into a complete sub-system including tape drive.
