[comp.sys.apollo] Apollo Press Release: New Mass Storage Capacity

ballentine_m@apollo.COM (Mike Ballentine) (10/26/88)

Apollo Computer Inc. introduced a series of new mass storage products
for its Personal Workstation (tm) family. With these products, Apollo
now offers up to 2.8GB of memory capacity.

Apollo's new disk storage products include a 697MB disk drive, a 697MB
Disk Expansion Module (providing 1.39GB), a 697MB Multiple Disk
Expansion Module (providing up to 2.8GB), a SCSI-based 1/4-inch
cartridge tape and a SCSI-based 1/2-inch 6250bpi magnetic tape. All of
these products are supported by Apollo's new multi-function peripheral
controller.

Through the use of the industry-standard Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI) bus, Apollo now brings the 6250 bpi tape drive to the
Personal Workstation family. It provides 150MB of data storage on one
reel of tape.

The SCSI-based 1/4-inch cartridge tape provides 60MB of storage
capacity on one cartridge tape. This eliminates the need for an
additional controller, and therefore frees up an extra AT (R) bus slot
for customer use.

All products will be available 60 days after receipt of order.

For more information, contact your local Apollo representative.
