1. Convert IDE hard drive into an external SCSI hard drive for data

backup in notebook and desktop PCs.

2. Convert IDE 50X CD-ROM into a 50X Ultra SCSI CD-ROM. Which

is brand new in the world.

3. Convert your favorite IDE DVD-ROM into a Ultra SCSI DVD-ROM.

4. Create a DVD-ROM Server by daisy chain Multiple SCSIDE®

DVD-ROM.

5. Convert 5400rpm or 7200rpm DMA33/66 HD into UW-SCSI HD for

PC Workstation, PC Server, even for Unix Workstation and

Server.

The basic architecture of SCSIDE® is a highly integrated multi CPUs

“System On a Chip” design. This SOC design utilizes ACARD

Technology’s many years expertise in IDE, SCSI and RISC CPU chip

design. As illustrated in the following diagram, this SOC has multiple

CPUs, its own ROM and RAM, DMA controllers and external ROM

interface for flash-ROM firmware update. ACARD Technology has also

polished the firmware design to make the IDE to SCSI conversion a

truly “plug and play” experience. The firmware has been test with

almost all brands of IDE DMA33/66 HD, ATAPI CD-ROM, DVD-ROM.

No matter what type of IDE device you have, ATA hard drive, CD-ROM,

(CD-RW with limited support ; see2.2) or DVD-ROM, you can easily

plug it on and ready to enjoy your SCSI adventure.

Because of this intelligent firmware design, you don’t have to install

driver to on you OS to use SCSIDE® series of products. To the OS, it

acts like a SCSI device, just plug and play.
