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.
