- Salt Lake City, Utah -- 21 OCT 91 -- Dayna Communications, Inc. today
- announced DaynaPORT SCSI/Link™, a small external SCSI Ethernet adapter targeted
- primarily at owners of the new Macintosh® PowerBook™ series. DaynaPORT
- SCSI/Link is also an ideal solution for the Classic® series and other Macintosh
- models that do not have an internal slot for an Ethernet card. Due to ship in
- January 1992, DaynaPORT SCSI/Link will retail at $399.
-
- DaynaPORT Ethernet adapters are available to connect all models of Macintosh
- computers to an Ethernet network using any type of cable system. A variety of
- protocols are supported, including EtherTalk, TCP/IP, DECnet®, and OSI.
- DaynaPORT adapters work with all popular network operating systems, including
- AppleShare®, NetWare®, TOPS®, and A/UX. All products feature System 7 support,
- an easy Installer, and diagnostic software.
-
- DaynaPORT SCSI/Link is the latest addition to the product line. Based on the
- same leading edge Ethernet technology as the rest of Dayna’s Ethernet adapters,
- DaynaPORT SCSI/Link is an inexpensive method for connecting the new Macintosh
- PowerBook computers, and any other slotless Macintosh models, to an Ethernet
- network.
-
- Measuring just 3 inches by 5.75 inches and only 1.75 inches high, its compact,
- portable design makes DaynaPORT SCSI/Link ideal for Macintosh computers that
- move from one Ethernet network to another. The product has two 25-pin SCSI
- connectors, and is internally terminated via an on/off switch. A small 12 volt
- power supply comes with the product. SCSI cables are available separately with
- either 25-pin or 30-pin connectors, to support both PowerBook and desktop
- Macintosh computers.
-
- “Macintosh Ethernet networks are growing at a rapid pace. Portable Macintosh
- computers such as the new PowerBooks need a portable Ethernet connector so they
- can hook up to a LAN any time, at the office or out on the road,” said Boyd T.
- Jones, president and CEO of Dayna. “DaynaPORT SCSI/Link combines SCSI speed and
- compact size to create the industry’s smallest high-speed Ethernet network
- connector.”
-
- Specifically designed for slotless Macintosh models such as the Portable and
- PowerBook series, DaynaPORT SCSI/Link provides them with a fast, easy Ethernet
- connection. It is also an excellent choice for desktop computers such as the
- Macintosh Classic, Classic II® and Plus that do not have an available card
- slot, or the Macintosh LC and IIsi whose one slot is already taken.
-
- PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
- Two models of the product are available. DaynaPORT SCSI/Link has a BNC
- connector for thin Ethernet. DaynaPORT SCSI/Link-T has an RJ45 connector for
- 10BASE-T twisted-pair wiring systems. Available in January 1992, DaynaPORT
- SCSI/Link and SCSI/Link-T have a suggested U.S. retail price of $399. Dayna
- backs the products with a lifetime warranty and unlimited free telephone
- support for all registered owners.
