Introduction
The PCM-3420 host adapter offers a wide range of flexible, economical
and expandable solutions that can satisfy diverse needs in SCSI
connectivity. Based on Adpatec’s proven AIC-6360 protocol chip, the
PCM-3420 supports all major operating systems - DOS, Windows,
Windows NT, Netware, UNIX, and OS/2 that permit precise matching
of products to specific requirements, and allows rapid system-level
configurations.
The PCM-3420 is particularly well suited to easy, inexpensive connec-
tion of CD-ROM drivers as well as ideal for connecting a stack of
seven different SCSI peripheral - from hard disks and CD-ROM drives
to tape, DAT and removable-media drives.
Supporting Fast SCSI, with transfer speeds of 10 Mbytes/sec, PCM-
3420 also provides advanced features such as synchronous and
asynchronous data transfer, support for multitasking and full DMA
support.
Whatever the particular configuration, each of the PCM-3420 host
adapter can be relied on for the high levels of quality, compatibility and
reliability.
