Ratoc PC CardBus to Ultra SCSI Adapter Mac

Ultra SCSI More Like This Ratoc's PCMCIA CardBus PC Card Ultra SCSI Host Adapter provides seamless high performance 32bit integration with a whole range of Ultra SCSI (Fast-20) devices. Perfect for connecting Ultra SCSI based mass storage devices including SCSI hard drive disks, MO-Drives, or high end SCSI enabled scanners and printers. PCMCIA CardBus PC Card devices are true host adapters provide transparent connections to the host, and are not emulating SCSI over FireWire or USB. With the PC Card to Ultra SCSI Host Adapter, your CardBus equipped [notebook PC] PowerBook G3/G4s can take full advantage of SCSI devices just like a desktop machine. The Ultra SCSI card comes with a High Density 50-pin (HD-50/IDC50) cable for standard Ultra SCSI peripherals.

The Ratoc PCMCIA CardBus PC Card to Ultra SCSI Host Adapter features synchronous transfer rates of up to 20MB/s for Ultra SCSI devices making it far faster than many legacy PC Card SCSI solutions. Purchase an optional HD 50F to Centronics 50M adapter for use with older Fast SCSI (10MB/s) devices. The PC CardBus to Ultra SCSI adapter also works with newer SCSI standards when used with pinout adapters (gender changers) such as Ultra Wide SCSI and Ultra 160 SCSI, but limits throughput to its maximum (Ultra SCSI). In addition to internal active termination the card also features flexible power utilization allowing it to draw only 77mA when in power saving mode. For external SCSI devices only.
