PubliCARD Announces D-101: One of the Most Advanced Hand-Held, Hard Drive Duplication Tools on the Market Today.FAIRFIELD, Conn. and LOS GATOS Los Gatos (lôs gä`tōs, lŏs, găt`əs), city (1990 pop. 27,357), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1887. It is an affluent residential community and health resort. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- June 8, 1999-- Computer professionals and law enforcement agencies A law enforcement agency (LEA) is a term used to describe any agency which enforces the law. This may be a local or state police, federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). now can use high-speed data transfer and diagnostic capabilities in a powerful and portable unit PubliCARD, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : CARD; www.publicard.com), today launched DataFast D-101, one of the most advanced hand-held, hard drive duplication tools available today. The product was developed by PubliCARD's subsidiary, Greystone Peripherals, of Los Gatos, CA, and will be available in early July. The D-101 hand-held unit is designed for computer professionals, law enforcement agencies, MIS departments, educational institutions and small computer stores that need a powerful and portable hard drive duplication solution. It is the smallest, lightest and fastest duplication and diagnostic tool available to date, able to transfer data at speeds in excess of 400 megabytes per minute. The D-101 also has bi-directional data transfer capabilities; it can transfer from dissimilar drives; and it is compatible with any PC operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . How the D-101 works: This system is ideal for computer technicians as part of a mobile office, where they can copy the image of a subject's hard drive for later analysis at their own premises or replace the drive's image on location. The D-101 can transfer data through an IDE interface or the parallel port, and with bi-directional data transfer capabilities, users are able to copy to or from a target system. Previously, heavy and inconvenient hard drive duplicators had to be carried around instead of this hand-held, easily portable product. "D-101's capabilities as a portable hard drive duplicator and diagnostic center makes it an industry first," says Karl Parks, director of sales for duplication products at PubliCARD's Greystone Peripherals. "The D-101 also acts as a hard drive diagnostic center for IDE interfaces, containing a multitude of diagnostic applications, including hard drive failure prediction and replacement of unreadable/writeable sectors." The "Smart Copy" operating system in the D-101 is designed to permit the unit to work with all PC operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , offering automatic load-size detection and drive geometry independence. It is also designed to ensure that the target drive is fully formatted and its partitions are properly scaled before it is loaded with the master image. The system is lightweight and durable, and it comes equipped with a fan cooling system to ensure data integrity and to prevent the hard drives from overheating Overheating An economy that is growing very quickly, with the risk of high inflation. . "This multifunctional and high-speed system provides numerous options for small to mid-size computer stores, Fortune 1000 companies and technical organizations alike," says Richard Phillimore, executive vice president of smart card businesses at PubliCARD. "The D-101 is yet another example of our commitment to produce superior products in an expanding number of markets." The D-101's diagnostic capabilities are as follows: - SCAN: confirms that every sector on a drive is readable. The product does not destroy any existing data on the drive. - WRITE/READ: enables users to verify that sectors on a drive are writeable and that written data on each sector may be accurately read and that each sector is uniquely addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be . - SEEK: confirms the ability of a drive to function properly with various seek conditions. - WIPEOUT: performs either "sanitizing" or "clearing" of a drive according to the Department of Defense published standards for removable and non-removable hard drives to obliterate o·blit·er·ate v. 1. To remove an organ or another body part completely, as by surgery, disease, or radiation. 2. To blot out, especially through filling of a natural space by fibrosis or inflammation. previously recorded data. - SMART: enables status of the internal failure predication In CPU instruction execution, executing all outcomes of a branch in parallel. When the correct branch is finally known, the results of the incorrect branch sequences are discarded. See branch prediction. capability of a drive to be reported to be spoken of; to be mentioned, whether favorably or unfavorably.
