Product Features/Specifications
Product Features
•PCI Compatibility: The PCI Bus is a 32-bit bus with multiplexed address and data lines. I/OHIGHWAY is compliant with PCI 2.1 bus protocol, electrical and mechanical specifications.
•Plug and Play: I/OHIGHWAY has an on-board read only memory (ROM) to provide the necessary configuration mechanisms for installation, configuration, and booting without user intervention.
•133 MBytes per second PCI burst mode: The 32-bit data path for the PCI bus structure running in a synchronous mode at 33 MHz gives maximum operating speeds of 133 MBytes/second.
•10 MBytes per second data transfer: Up to 10 MBytes/sec synchronous FastSCSI data transfers for I/OHIGHWAY.
•Programmable/Automatic SCSI Termination: Allows the user to choose between programmable or auto-SCSI termination, eliminating the need to remove system unit covers each time a change is made in SCSI bus configuration.
•Onboard BIOS supports MS-DOS, Windows 3.1x: I/OHIGHWAY has the necessary software support on-board–allowing you to run disk drive operations for MS-DOS and Windows 3.1x without any extra drivers.
•Windows 95, Windows NT, OS/2, SCO UNIX, UnixWare, Linux and NetWare Driver Support: I/OHIGHWAY is compatible with all major operating systems.
•ISGE™ Integrated Scatter/Gather Engine: Initio host adapters have incorporated advanced hardware functions to provide increased performance in all Scatter/Gather operations.
•No Hardware Jumpers to set: Initio host adapters embed an intelligent software utility to set configuration options.
•Compatible with Hard Disk, CD-ROM, Optical, Tape, Printer, and other SCSI products: I/OHIGHWAY is a complete FastSCSI implementation. All peripherals are compliant with SCSI-2 and SCSI-1 and can be used with I/OHIGHWAY.
•64-byte FIFO: A 64-byte FIFO buffer is designed into I/OHIGHWAY and is utilized as a caching buffer to manage PCI to SCSI bus structure timing for data and command transfer.
