Antares' ConServer-ESP packs more power onto an SBus board than ever before, with a buffered Ethernet, a Fast-SCSI Host Adapter, and a high-performance bi-directional Parallel Port.

Fast SCSI-2 Host Adapter:

Allows you to connect an additional sevcn SCSI devices to your system. The maximum data transfer rate of 10 MBytes per second eliminates bottlenecks that cause one disk to wait for another. 32-byte burst Direct Memory Access (DMA) and a 64-byte First-In, First-Out (FIFO) 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.

Buffered Ethernet Controller:

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. A self-healing fuse supplies power to the external Ethernet transceiver, eliminating downtime from cabling mistakes.

High-Performance Parallel Port:

Connects you to a wide range of Centronics-compatible peripherals such as printers and scanners.

A data transfer rate of over 4 megabytes per second is provided through use of 32-byte burst DMA combined with a 64-byte FIFO buffer and hardware timing control. Programmable handshaking protocol definition, pulse widths, data setup time, and transfer direction guarantee operation with the widest range of peripherals.

All necessary software drivers are shipped by Sun with SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2. Your system will recognize and use the board as soon as you turn it on. Installation is a snap!
