Antares' ConServer-FWBE packs a FastWide-SCSI Host Adapter, a buffered Ethernet and an Ethernet transceiver onto a single-slot SBus board at the most affordable price!.
Allows you to connect an additional fifteen SCSI devices to your system. The maximum data transfer rate of 20 MBytes per second eliminates bottlenecks that cause one disk to wait for another. 64-byte burst Direct Memory Access (DMA) and a 68-byte First-In, First-Out (HFO) buffer minimize system load.
A secondary ribbon-cable header on the board allows internal connections to SCSI peripherals in rack-mounted or custom installations. Active SCSI termination increases reliability and allows use with up to 20 feet of cable. A self-resetting fuse on the termination power recovers from cabling mistakes so your system can keep running.
Converts your SBus computer into an Ethernet gateway, router, or bridge.
You can also isolate problems on one sub-net from problems on another sub-net, or build parallel networks for increased uptime. Once again, 32byte burst DMA combined with a 64-byte Ethernet cache minimizes demands on the host system. Your choice of a thin or twisted-pair Ethernet transceiver is now built-in to the ConServer-FWBE.
All necessary software drivers are shipped by Sun with Solaris 2. Your system recognize and use the board as soon as you turn it on. Installation is a snap!
