<P>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!.
<H2>FastWide SCSI Host Adapter:</H2>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Allows you to connect an additional fifteen SCSI devices to your system. The maximum data transfer rate of<B> 20 MBytes per second </B>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.
<P>A secondary ribbon-cable header on the board allows internal connections to SCSI peripherals in rack-mounted or custom installations. <B>Active SCSI termination</B> increases reliability and allows use with up to 20 feet of cable. A<B> self-resetting fuse</B> on the termination power recovers from cabling mistakes so your system can keep running.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H2>
Buffered Ethernet Controller:</H2>
<BLOCKQUOTE><P>Converts your SBus computer into an Ethernet gateway, router, or bridge.
<P>You can also isolate problems on one sub-net from problems on another sub-net, or build parallel networks for increased uptime. Once again, <B>32byte burst DMA </B>combined with a<B> 64-byte Ethernet cache</B> minimizes demands on the host system. Your choice of a thin or twisted-pair Ethernet transceiver is now built-in to the ConServer-FWBE.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>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!
