SmartDisk Vector SM/CF (USB)

Driver for the USB Floppy Drives. Compatible with 1.4MB Mac and PC floppies, these drives transfer files at a rate of up to 500kb/s and have an average access time of 94ms. Plus, they are powered through USB so no AC Adapter is needed.

Featuring SoftRAID software, the VST UltraTek/66 is capable of increasing storage and data transfer by 300 percent. It provides more than 60 megabytes-per-second sustained RD transfer rates and more than 45 megabytes-per-second sustained WR, making it the fastest driver available for data intensive tasks, including digital video and PhotoShop editing, database management and server applications. The UltraTek/66 card can be installed by simply running the SoftRAID Installer, attaching the UltraTek/66 in a PCI slot and linking the cables provided in the package to the drives. When used with IBM's latest 7200RPM 75GXP DeskStar series of ultra-ATA/66 hard drive mechanisms, performance is equivalent to Ultra2 SCSI, for a total solution cost of about half of typical SCSI solutions. In addition, SoftRAID provides RAID levels 0 and 1 (striping and mirroring) simultaneously. Striping provides increased capacity and performance while mirroring provides redundancy with duplicate data on separate drive mechanisms.

"The story behind this issue is that the card OEM manufacturer unexpectidly did replace the on-board EEPROM from ATMEL to WINBOND brand. The version 1.1.2 was made to support ATMEL because at the time it was written WINBOND wasn't an option. The unexpected hardware change came after the 1.1.2 was posted on the Web. After OEM realized the mistake it did provide us the new specifications. Our marketing partner (VST Technologies) had to remove the 1.1.2 from their web site. The newly posted 1.1.2w does support both ATMEL and WINBOND EEPROM and we got no reports regarding 1.1.2w issues."
