Miles [INI-9100UW Mac]
PCI to UltraWide SCSI Host Adapter for MacOS

INI-A100U2WMiles, the INI-9100UW Mac PCI-UltraWide SCSI bus master host adapter provides a high performance, reliable, and simple I/O solution for multimedia, publishing, digital video, and graphic intensive applications running on Power Macintosh with PCI systems. Miles supports the latest UltraSCSI and UltraWide SCSI peripherals at up to 40 MB/sec, and takes advantage of the 133 MB/sec burst rate of the PCI bus to provide unmatched I/O performance. Miles adds one more I/O processing arm to Power Macintosh with PCI, enabling users to take advantage of the new, fast, wide, and UltraSCSI devices. While Miles host adapters are capable of keeping pace with the most demanding applications, they offer complete compatibility with your existing SCSI peripherals. You can combine up to 15* SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3, or UltraSCSI peripherals for optimum performance and value. Miles supports Mac OS version 7.5.2 or later and includes a field upgradable Flash SCSI driver. The Miles host adapter include both auto-configuration and auto-termination for Plug-and-Play installations in PCI-based systems. Miles host adapters will run in PowerPC compatible PCI systems.

Additional Features:
Miles utilizes a unique PCI-SCSI engine integrated into a single chip to provide the highest performance while maintaining maximum compatibility with today’s and tomorrow’s peripheral products. The PCI-SCSI engine employs a distinctive Integrated Scatter/Gather Engine (ISGETM) to provide more performance and I/O processing power for Power Macintosh with PCI systems.

Comprehensive support includes the following devices: SCSI hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, CD-ROM writers, rewritable optical drives, WORM drives, multi-function optical drives, scanners, removable drives, DAT, Zip/JazTM drives and tape drives.
