Smart and Friendly's New Data Arsenal 142 Adds Jukebox
Capabilities; Flexible CD-ROM Network Tower lets users
allocate CDs based on demand
COMDEX, Las Vegas, November 13, 1995-Smart and Friendly, specialty producer of
cutting-edge MPEG development tools and CD-related technology since 1982, today
announced the Smart and Friendly Data Arsenal 142, a CD Network Tower with the
capacity for as many as 14 6X CD-ROM drives and up to two 7-disc quad-speed
jukeboxes, providing access to an additional 14 CDs. The unit connects to a PC network
via SCSI 2 interface. Aimed at small-to-medium sized businesses and government agencies
with the need to share CD-based data in a networked environment, the combination of
CD-ROM drives and jukeboxes enables users to allocate CDs based on frequency of
access. Pricing for the Data Arsenal 142 has not been set. "The Smart and Friendly Data
Arsenal 142 offers a uniquely flexible approach to data sharing," said Perry Solomon, CEO
of Smart and Friendly. "Users can put the CDs they need to access most often and most
rapidly in the 6X CD-ROM drives, while the discs they may not use as frequently can be
housed in the jukeboxes. The 7-disc quad-speed jukeboxes offer the fastest access of any
jukebox on the market, so either way, users get the data they need, when they need it. This
is the ideal CD-ROM network tower/jukebox for sm all-to-mid-sized network
environments: it's easy to use, easy to upgrade and should be very affordably priced." The
Data Arsenal 142 supports reading in CD-ROM Mode-1 and Mode-2, CD-ROM XA, CD-
Audio, Audio-combined CD-ROM, CD-I, CD-I ready, CD Bridge and CD-R formats.
