- San Diego, CA--5 Nov 92: Golden Triangle announced shipment of TimesTwo™
- (patent pending), the first driver-level disk expansion product for Macintosh®.
- With a simple one-time installation, TimesTwo transparently doubles the size of
- any SCSI disk without reformatting, leaving users’ data unchanged.
-
- TimesTwo moves a quantum leap beyond products like AutoDoubler™ and More
- Disk Space™ which increase disk storage by compressing individual files,
- resulting in numerous compatibility problems and the need for constant
- upgrades. TimesTwo actually makes a user’s disk bigger, transforming a 40MB
- disk into an 80MB, for example. All file sizes and creator types are actual
- and file recovery programs such as Symantec’s The Norton Utilities® and Central
- Point®’s MacTools® can diagnose and fix disk problems.
-
- TimesTwo works by compressing disk blocks at the driver level, reducing the
- amount of space needed to store them, and increasing the true size of the disk.
- The Macintosh Finder sees a 40MB hard disk as an 80MB. Users can store and
- retrieve more data on disk without compressing and decompressing files.
-
- Upgrading a disk with TimesTwo is as easy as clicking the mouse a few times
- to install the TimesTwo driver on the user’s disk. TimesTwo is completely
- invisible, giving the user a disk of twice its original capacity. There is no
- Control Panel, System Extension or other System Software installed on the disk.
- Users can go back to work immediately without thinking further about TimesTwo.
-
- TimesTwo is perfect for PowerBooks because users can double their disk
- capacity without replacing the internal disk or adding a cumbersome external
- disk. TimesTwo is also ideal for removable disks such as Bernoulli and SyQuest
- cartridges because the media can be moved to another Macintosh without the need
- for TimesTwo on the receiving machine.
-
- TimesTwo supports the Macintosh Plus and above, requires a minimum of 2MB
- of RAM and requires System 6.0.4 or above. Suggested retail price is $149.
-
- Golden Triangle develops utility products for individual and networked
- Macintosh users. The company was founded in 1987 and is privately held.
