AdvanSys AdvanSCSI cards offer higher-than-Adaptec SCSI throughput to users, and now, through a new promo, to resellers, too.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 1995--Advanced System Products, Inc. announces a new reseller promotion (until Labor Day Labor Day, holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada on the first Monday in September to honor the laborer. It was inaugurated by the Knights of Labor in 1882 and made a national holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1894. , 1995) that spotlights the higher throughput and lower prices of its RISC-based SCSI-2 host adapter Also called a "controller" or "host bus adapter," it is a device that connects one or more peripheral units to a computer. It is typically an expansion card that plugs into the bus. IDE and SCSI are examples of peripheral interfaces that call their controllers host adapters. See host. cards vs. those of market leader Adaptec. AdvanSys is asking Adaptec resellers to place their next reorders for AdvanSCSI(TM) cards instead, with two incentives. First, Adaptec will fill the orders with their head-to-head equivalent AdvanSCSI products, each of which outperforms its Adaptec counterpart in throughput tests, at the same head-to-head price they've earned through their Adaptec volume purchase discounts. Then AdvanSys will sweeten sweet·en v. sweet·ened, sweet·en·ing, sweet·ens v.tr. 1. To make sweet or sweeter by adding sugar, honey, saccharin, or another sweet substance. 2.

There's a long list of reasons why our RISC-based SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. cards are faster and better and easier than anything out there. But there's a short list of reasons why it's tough to get noticed: Adaptec owns the channels. So we're being realistic, asking fairly little, returning an excellent value, and hopefully, starting some meaningful long-term relationships.'' AdvanSCSI cards use RISC processors for higher throughput and lower host system loading. Their innovative Universal Driver technology provides a single driver that loads once, no matter how many cards are being supported, and does so with a smaller memory footprint. They fully support ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) An interface specification developed by Adaptec, Inc., Milpitas, CA, that provides a common language between drivers and SCSI host adapters. devices like CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc.

They are certified for NetWare, SCO Unix and Windows. They include Corel SCSI. Electronic termination automatically configures the card properly for external SCSI devices. Even SCSI and floppy cables are in the box. For additional information contact Advanced System Products, Inc., 1150 Ringwood Court, San Jose, CA 95131; 408/383-9400; fax 408/383-9612.
