SCSI host adapters offer superspeed to personal-computer I-O subsystems. (includes related article on the SCSI advantage) (Technology Update) (technical)

From: EDN | Date: September 1, 1988| Author: Wright, Maury | Copyright information

Adapter board manufacturers work on improving adapter performance and compatibility. Disk data-transfer rates of over 1Mbyte-per-second are possible with new Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) host adapters. The SCSI boards, compatible with IBM PC-AT and Micro Channel microcomputers, give interfaces to high performance 5.25-inch disk drives. The SCSI interface is in theory a universal systems interface with an 8-bit parallel bus that can connect to any peripheral. The SCSI interface has ...

SCSI host adapters offer superspeed to personal-computer I-O subsystems. (includes related article on the SCSI advantage) (Technology Update) (technical)
EDN ; SCSI host adapters offer superspeed to personal-computer I/O subsystems Personal-computer I/O performance--particularly the disk throughput--has not kept pace with the processing power offered by 80286-, and 80386-based systems. But IBM PC/AT- and Micro Channel-compatible SCSI (Small Computer
New 16-BIT SCSI host adapter from Rancho Technology. (Brief Article)
Information Today ; Rancho Technology, Inc. has released two new 16-Bit SCSI host adapters: RT1600-5 and RT1600-6. These host adapters perform high-speed data transfers of up to 5MB per second, which are accomplished via synchronous SCSI, using a 128-byte FIFO, string I/O commands and zero-wait-state operations.

Fast disk data rates spur IPI acceptance. (Intelligent Peripheral Interface - includes related article on history of IPI )
EDN ; Fast disk data rates spur IPI acceptance Although it's some two years later than many industry experts predicted, the Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI) will be this year's interface of choice for high-performance I/O subsystems. Disk drives with data channels faster than 3M bytes/sec are now
Thinking big: SATA hard drives; New generation of RAID drives offers high performance at reduced cost.(Product/service evaluation)
Macworld ; It wasn't long ago that buying a terabyte (TB) of fast storage meant shelling out several thousand dollars. Now, with Serial ATA (SATA) technology bringing the price down and performance up, owning a terabyte of RAID storage can cost as little as $800. But what exactly is SATA (Serial Advanced
Rancho releases 16-bit Plug and Play SCSI-2 adapter.(Rancho Technology Inc.)(Product Announcement)
Information Today ; Rancho Technology, Inc., has released a new 16-Bit Plug and Play SCSI host adapter for the ISA bus, the RT1600E. This SCSI host adapter performs two modes of high-speed data transfers, one in PIO, the other in DMA. High speed is achieved using a 128-byte FIFO with string 1/0 commands. An EEPROM on
