For SCSI Cards

Cards. And all Adaptec SCSI Cards are

full technical support for two years.
Speed Up Your System With SCSI
SCSI* moves information between
your PC and peripheral much faster
than with standard interfaces. With
SCSI, you’ll save time with transfers
up to 6 times faster than with a par-
allel port connection.
Install With Plug-And-Play Ease
Installation is a breeze. Just remove
your computer’s case, slide the card
into an ISA expansion slot, and
connect the SCSI peripherals. You’ll
be up and running in no time.
Achieve Broadest Compatibility
Adaptec SCSI Cards are tested with hun-
dreds of computer systems and peripherals
to ensure the widest possible support, now
and in the future. And since peripheral
manufacturers design to Adaptec products,
you can count on broad compatibility.
Upgrade Your PC Quickly
SCSI makes it easy to add a peripheral to
your system. Daisy-chain up to 7 internal
or external peripherals to this SCSI Card
and enjoy the same great performance.
This SCSI Card is ideal for connecting
SCSI CD-R, CD-ROM, or removable
drives, and can be used to connect other
Fast SCSI peripherals like scanners, tape,
and hard disk drives.
