TEAC selects the AdvanSys PCI to Ultra SCSI Host Adapter for CD Recordable drives.SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 1997--Through a bundling agreement with AdvanSys, TEAC TEAC Tetraethylammonium Chloride TEAC Theological Education for the Anglican Communion TEAC Technology Education Association of California TEAC Turbine Engine Analysis Check TEAC Timber Export Advisory Committee TEAC Training & Education Advisory Committee will deliver its CD-R (CD-Recordable) A writable CD technology using a type of compact disc that can be recorded, but not erased (CD-Rs are "write once" discs). CD-R discs are used to master CD-ROMs, to back up data and to make copies of data for distribution. 50S Compact Disk recorder/player peripherals with the AdvanSys PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). to Ultra-SCSI ABP 1. (networking) ABP - Alternating bit protocol. 2. ABP - Microsoft Address Book Provider. 930-U Host Adapter. TEAC made the selection after testing the AdvanSys host adapters for accuracy, efficiency and reliability. TEAC America Inc. thus joins the growing number of peripheral manufacturers who have elected to use the high performance AdvanSys Bus-Master host adapters with their CD-Recordable (CD-R) product offerings. "The AdvanSys relationship with TEAC demonstrates our ongoing resolve to provide high quality, cost-effective 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. solutions to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers," said George Moore, vice president of sales and marketing for AdvanSys. "AdvanSys' price/performance enables OEMs like TEAC to stimulate demand for SCSI peripherals and deliver superior value to customers. Our lasting commitment is to maintain stable costs for OEM products by providing high-performance SCSI alternatives at aggressive prices." "We chose AdvanSys because its products adhere to our strict requirements for performance, reliability and price," said Jim Hill, Business Development Manager, CD Recordable Products for TEAC America. "By bundling the AdvanSys host adapters with our CD-R50S, we are able to offer OEMs and the channel a complete, all-in-one CD-R solution at a price that will stimulate demand for our ultra SCSI products in the PCI environment." TEAC CD-R50S The TEAC CD-R50S is a 4X write/4X read CD-Recordable drive that can burn a 650 megabyte CD in just 15 minutes. Engineered for reliability and performance, the TEAC 4X CD Recorder practically eliminates buffer underruns, insuring users will burn disks successfully with 100 percent accuracy every time. The TEAC Recorder is packet ready and can also record on part of the disk, or track the entire disk at once and supports both PC and Macintosh-based authoring programs. The CD-R50S' convenient integration and pricing is ideal for solution providers seeking a high performance drive that is both affordable and efficient. AdvanSys Bus-Mastering The ABP930-U PCI to Ultra SCSI host adapter was selected by TEAC because it upholds TEAC's standards for accuracy, efficiency and reliability. The AdvanSys host adapter is the highest-performance Bus-Master solution on the market. It is designed to meet the unique hardware requirements of multitasking PC operating systems, which typically overtax o·ver·tax tr.v. o·ver·taxed, o·ver·tax·ing, o·ver·tax·es 1.

Central to the AdvanSys Bus-Master adapter is a dedicated RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. (Reduced Instruction Set Computing Noun 1. reduced instruction set computing - (computer science) a kind of computer architecture that has a relatively small set of computer instructions that it can perform reduced instruction set computer, RISC ) processor that controls multithreading Multitasking within a single program. It allows multiple streams of execution to take place concurrently within the same program, each stream processing a different transaction or message. , multitasking and scatter/gather operations that maximize data throughput on the bus. The combination of these AdvanSCSI busmastering technologies enables AdvanSys to deliver data transfer rates of up to 20 Mbytes/sec in Ultra SCSI mode. AdvanSys VAR Direct Program AdvanSys' VAR Direct program offers Value Added Resellers, system integrators and other reselling organizations a variety of services to develop the SCSI market. These include increased margins on resale product purchases, immediate shipment to stock and free around-the-clock technical support. The company also offers marketing support in the form of co-op marketing development funds for qualified resellers, as well as corporate and end-user referrals to key resellers. Advanced Systems Products Inc. (AdvanSys) designs, manufactures and markets SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) host adapters, software and integrated circuits. The heart of its SCSI products are the company's cost-effective RISC processors. These processors optimize computer system performance by reducing and/or eliminating CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. cycles otherwise employed in data transfers between system memory and SCSI devices.
