FWB-IDE01
FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) to IDE
(ATA/ATAPI) Bridge Board featuring INITIO inic-2430L FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) to IDE
(ATA/ATAPI) Bridge Controller and Texas Instrument's new IEEE 1394b 800Mbps PHY (TSB81BA3)
AVAILABLE
MODEL:
INTRODUCTION
FWB-IDE01 is ideally suited for
tailgating interfaces such as removable-media drives CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, tape drive, and hard disk drive.
It allows IDE drives (Master and Slave) to be connected to FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion.
Both ATA and ATAPI devices are supported using the same firmware.
FWB-IDE01 allows users to easily hot-swap IDE drive without interrupting the current operation.
FWB-IDE01 provides the perfect solution for data backup and transferring of data between computers using IDE (ATA/ATAPI) devices.

- Supports 48-bit addressing for large hard drives (>128GB).
- Physical Dimensions: 3.33" x 1.81" (8.45cm x 4.60cm)
Fit to most standard SCSI enclosure. (SCSI I 50pin Connector Form Factor)
APPLICATION -
To turn your SCSI enclosure into FireWire enclose
- FWB-IDE01 was designed to have SCSI 1 50pin connector form factor so it's idea for dual bay SCSI case
- End user can upgrade their SCSI enclosure to FireWire800 (1394b) enclosure.
- SCSI Enclosure vendors using the ATA/ATAPI devices now have an immediate and no-risk solutions for adding FireWire800 (IEEE 1394b) interface to their product lines.
BENEFITS
- End user can replace a slow & expensive SCSI device with
a cheap & fast EIDE device.
- This allows peripheral vendors a unique opportunity to continue the advantage of the
ATA/ATAPI existing market advantages while presenting FWB-IDE01 into the rapidly expanding FireWire800 (IEEE 1394b) markets.
