DTC Data Technology Corp. Ships New Family of Plug and Play SCSI Host Adapters for PCI Systems.MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 8, 1996--DTC Data Technology Corporation today introduced a family of plug and play SCSI host adapters, supporting the new SCAM standard for automatic 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. configuration. DTC's Ultra line of host adapters, including the Ultra20/40 model, sets new price/performance standards for SCSI host adapters, with prices 30-40% below other manufacturers products. In addition to super easy installation, DTC DTC See: Depository Transfer Check DTC See: Depository Trust Company DTC See Depository Trust Company (DTC). has designed enhanced SCSI compatibility into the entire SCSI controller A common term for a SCSI host adapter. See SCSI. SCSI controller - SCSI adaptor product line using a Symbios Logic Symbios Logic was a manufacturer of SCSI host adapter chipsets and disk array storage subsystems. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Electronics America. It was originally a division of NCR Corporation, before NCR's takeover by AT&T. AT&T sold off the division to Hyundai. chipset. "DTC is committed to the SCSI compatibility issue and to providing a SCSI controller product line that maximizes hardware compatibility for our customers. We chose Symbios Logic because their technology and PCI-SCSI I/O processors support our commitment. In addition, we are able to offer Wide UltraSCSI controllers compatible with the industry's Ultra drives," said Neal Greenberg, director of sales and marketing. "The SYM53C8xx family of PCI-SCSI I/O processors lets DTC take advantage of the major features offered in our products. By using our TolerANT(tm) technology, DTC enhances signal integrity thus ensuring compatibility with other SCSI peripherals. At Symbios Logic, we are committed to providing a high-performance, easy-to-use, O/S compatible, I/O interface See port and expansion slot. ," said Alan D. Lofthus, vice president of marketing at Symbios Logic. DTC is now shipping three, low-priced models in the PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). line of SCSI controllers including the Ultra20/40, supporting up to 15 devices (up from the typical seven supported by SCSI). These adapters benefit data intensive applications, eliminating data throughput bottlenecks for graphics, CAD and server applications. All come with plug and play, SCAM ID selection and auto-termination. For ease of use, a unique LED light is built-in to the high-end SCSI controllers, indicating whether an external port is available for use. In addition, DTC provides for an upgrade path and investment protection allowing users to upgrade from Ultra20 to Ultra40 devices, when they become available. Model 3130B-Plug&Play SCSI host adapter, designed for high-end graphic intensive PCI systems requiring good levels of performance and connectivity, connects seven devices and offers 10 MB/sec of data transfer speed. Suggested retail is $139.95. DTC's 3130B-Wide SCSI controller, designed for high-end CAD and database workstations requiring high performance 132 MB/sec PCI BusMaster, connects 15 devices and offers 20 MB/sec of data transfer speed. Suggested retail is $199.95. DTC's 3130BW-Ultra20/40 SCSI host adapter has been designed for server applications using Ultra drives and requiring high-end I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output performance and very fast speeds for file servers, Web servers and networking. Using wide cable two-byte format and adding Ultra20 speed gate, the system offers 40 MB/sec data throughput and connects 15 narrow or wide devices. Suggested retail is $229.95. All of DTC's SCSI host adapters support DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, OS/2, SCO UNIX, and Netware operating systems and have a five year warranty. DTC's worldwide service and support program also makes new drivers for all major operating systems downloadable from their World Wide Web and bulletin board sites. DTC's SCSI host adapters are widely distributed through DTC's distributor channel including, Ameriquest, D & H, Ingram Micro, Merisel Corporation, Tech Data and all other major distributors. Retailers include Fry's Electronics and Micro Center.
