PCUNIX/GD - Product Description
PCUNIX/GD is a disc storage subsystem. The 'Giga Disc' product
relieves on-line storage problems with over a gigabyte of user
storage. The product is based on a Hewlett-Packard disc drive. The
quality, performance, and reliability of this unit are unmatched in
today's market.
PCUNIX/GD is implemented on Santa Cruz Operation(SCO)'S UNIX 386/V
Operating System. The block device driver is user-installable with
SCO's custom program. The use of an intelligent controller with a 64K
on-board cache maintains a high sustained data transfer rate.
Each configuration contains all components required for plug and play
installation. There are several choices for expanding the drive
configuration. A single controller will support both internal and
external drives at the same time. Each controller will support up to 6
drive units and each host system will support up to 2 controllers. The
internal subsystem includes a SCSI ribbon cable cable and rail kit.
The external subsystems include the drive(s) in an enclosure with
power supply. The external subsystems may be connected to the host via
a SCSI peripheral cable of up to six feet in length.
Options include: Internal Unit (single drive)
External Unit (single drive)
External Unit (multiple drives)
Hardware:
The Hewlett-Packard drive is a full-height, 5.25" unit and uses a SCSI-2
interface. The controller is Adaptec's AT/SCSI Host Adapter. It requires
one full-length slot.
