SKU: ZBX-380 ZBX-380 SCSI/FLOPPY DRIVE CONTROLLER MODULEPRODUCT DESCRIPTION ZBX-380 is Zendex's latest iSBX/ZBX, single-wide module, and was designed in response to Multibus, VME and PC users wanting to simultaneously upgrade peripheral drive support and have available the same interface for high-speed, DMA-supported data transfer. With SCSI and a Winchester Floppy Disk Drive controller, users now have a perfect ONE BOARD solution to replace older, less powerful and more expensive products such as the iSBC-214 drive controller. The SCSI interface of the ZBX-380 transfers data synchronously to and from peripheral drives as well as other intelligent peripheral devices at 4 MB/sec. And because it is an iSBX/ZBX module, it directly communicates with the host SBC, effectively increasing bus bandwidth. In contrast, the iSBC-214 transfers data to and from ONLY from peripheral drives, and at a comparably slow 630KB. Not to mention that the iSBC-214 must communicate with the host via the Multibus. As with all Zendex ZBX modules, the ZBX-380 conforms to the Intel Multibus iSBX interface specifications. This module is a high-performance, low cost upgrade for Intel's iSBC-214 and compatibles. As an iSBX/ZBX module, the user benefits in several important ways:
In systems where many modules are used, the Zendex ZX-564 iSBX/ZBX motherboard becomes an important solution. The ZX-564 is a Multibus Master/Slave, and features (6) iSBX/ZBX 8/16-bit connectors, dual interrupts, and DMA, support. Modules like the ZBX-380 are plugged directly onto it. FEATURES
