IBM SCSI CREDIT CARD ADAPTER (92G8171)
The IBM SCSI Credit Card Adapter is a Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association (PCMCIA) Type II adapter used for attaching
SCSI devices, such as CD-ROM, optical, tape, and hard drives. The
SCSI Credit Card Adapter offers the SCSI attachment and performance
capabilities of standard-sized adapters and is compliant with PCMCIA
Standards Release 2.1. Device drivers and enablers are provided in
support of OS/2, DOS, SCSI software interfaces, and a wide range of
popular notebooks and SCSI devices.
The SCSI Credit Card Adapter provides a high-performance SCSI-2
controller that supports SCSI synchronous, asynchronous, and fast
synchronous (up to 10MBps) data transfers. The adapter supports up
to seven daisy-chained devices.
The SCSI Credit Card Adapter provides support for ASPI, INT4B, and
CAM SCSI interfaces. This allows the use of popular SCSI drivers and
applications.
The SCSI Credit Card Adapter kit provides quick and easy installation
programs that allow you to quickly begin using SCSI devices.
The 3-foot cable allows easy direct attachment to SCSI devices. The
adapter connector is rugged and tolerates abuse. It is easy to
insert and provides a locking mechanism to ensure secure connection
to the adapter.
The SCSI Credit Card Adapter uses the rugged laser welded metal
stainless steel case.
Product Positioning: The SCSI Credit Card Adapter should be
considered as a connectivity option for portable computers (mobile
machines) when:
o The portable computer, port replicator, or docking station
supports PCMCIA Release 2.1 Standards and has Type II or III slots
o Employees travel, work off-site or at different on-site locations,
and have a need for information on CD-ROM
o The portable computer has access to an audio card or has a built
in audio system for use with multimedia applications and
demonstrations
o SCSI tape drive is available for system backup of a portable
computer that the user wishes to utilize
o Information already exists on other SCSI devices that needs to be
accessed, such as rewritable optical disk drives or external hard
disk drives
