Antares' ConServer-1053 packs a Fast-SCSI Host Adapter, a buffered Ethernet and an Ethernet transceiver onto a single-slot SBus board at the most affordable price!.

Fast SCSI-2 Host Adapter:

Allows you to connect an additional seven 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, 32 byte 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-1053.

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!
