Dayna Ships 10 100 Fast Ethernet Hubs and PCI and NuBus Network Interface Cards.SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 1995--Dayna Communications, Inc. announced today that it is shipping its 100BASE-T Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. hub and 10/100BASE-T PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and NuBus network interface cards. The 12-port hub and PCI and NuBus Ethernet adapters are part of the BlueStreak family of Fast Ethernet products which the company announced in August. All BlueStreak products support the 100BASE-TX standard, running on two-pair Category five cable, and provide users in the pre-press, graphic design, CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. , multimedia, and medical imaging industries with high-performance networking. BlueStreak 100BASE-TX Hub The unmanaged 12-port BlueStreak Hub offers 100 Mbps speed on two-pair Category five cable. Its uplink feature allows two hubs to be connected together, making it ideal for setting up workgroup and departmental networks of both PC and Macintosh computers. The BlueStreak 100BASE-TX is rack mountable and includes LEDs for link status, auto-partition, collision, and uplink status. It ships with a full lifetime warranty and has a street price of $1,799. BlueStreak 10/100 NuBus and PCI Cards The BlueStreak NuBus and PCI cards provide Fast Ethernet networking to both the large installed base of NuBus Macintosh computers and the newly-introduced PCI Macintoshes. Dayna has also committed to providing drivers that support NetWare, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. , and Windows 95 for its 10/100 PCI card in early 1996. Supporting the NWay(TM) standard, both the NuBus and PCI cards can auto negotiate To automatically recognize the current condition and adjust settings accordingly. The term is often used with communications and networking, in which line speeds from both sides of the transmission are sensed, and the highest-speed that can be accommodated is chosen. between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds, offering a seamless upgrade to 100 Mbps performance so that users can migrate to industry-standard high-performance networking at their convenience. "In using Dayna's BlueStreak NuBus 10/100 card I've seen an overall doubling in file transfer rates over 10 Mbps switched Ethernet An Ethernet network that is controlled by a switch instead of a shared hub. The switch cross connects all clients, servers and network devices, giving each sending-receiving pair the full rated transmission speed. ," said Barry Bryson, technology development engineer at Intermountain in·ter·moun·tain adj. Located between mountains or mountain systems, especially lying between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada or Cascade Range in the western United States. Health Care Inc. in Salt Lake City, and beta tester for the NuBus card. "If it weren't for the inherent slowness of the NuBus 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 , I would see even faster speeds on my 100 Mbps network. While doing small file transfers when I'm using Novell's GroupWise, I see throughput well above double; in fact the BlueStreak card is so much faster than 10 Mbps switched Ethernet that the thought of going back is painful," said Bryson. Other users like Peter Jungck of Terraglyph Interactive has also seen improvements, getting three times switched Ethernet speeds with the BlueStreak NuBus card. Both the NuBus and PCI cards have one RJ-45 jack for either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T operation, and provide LED diagnostics for link status, activity, speed, and full-duplex mode, and ship with all necessary BlueStreak drivers and a full life-time warranty. The BlueStreak NuBus and PCI cards have a street price of $325 and $225, respectively.
