The
IBM compatible Easi Disk Systems provide a versatile and portable means
of transferring data and/or disks between IBM compatible 3 1/2" or
5 1/2" disk systems and "smart or dumb" devices using
RS-232, GPIB-488, or 8-bit parallel.
FEATURES:
* PROM based operating system - no boot up required
* Host or manual control
* Large case version (not pictured) supports dual drives
* Self-prompting instructions are displayed on the Easi Disk LCD for external
interfacing or manual setup
* Completely software configurable
* Standard interface: RS-232 single or dual ports
* Protocols supported: XON/XOFF, CTS/RTS, or none
* Software configurable baud rates: 110 to 38.4K
* Optional interface: RS-422, RS-485, 20mA, GPIB-488, or 8-bit parallel
* 32K byte RAM available for buffers
* Remote polling capabilities
* Hitachi 64180 microprocessor (Z80 software compatible)
* MS-DOS software RS-232 driver
* ASCII or full binary operation
* Low power CMOS controller
* Automatically transfers to second disk when first is full while writing
data
* Easi Disk System may be inserted into an existing data line to capture
data passing through the line
APPLICATIONS:
* Remote data collection
* Test instrumentation logging
* Field service loader/logger
* Software distribution of updates
* Perfect for any programmable controller
* Archival storage
* Upload/download/backup solid state memory
* Removable, transportable disk memory for data transfer
* Plotter driver/buffer for CAD/CAM
* NC/CNC/DNC/PLC program load/save and edit
* Instrumentation data store and transfer
* LAN line activity monitoring
* Energy Management Systems load/backup
* Program load and save application in any area
* Portable data acquisition systems, battery powered
* Low power applications as a "build-in" for RS-232/GPIB-488 control
* Data conversion - RS-232/GPIB-488/8-bit parallel to MS-DOS
* Motion control programming and storage
* Security systems program backup
