INMOS B422 Size-2 SCSI TRAM
- IMST222-20 transputer
- 64 Kbytes of two-cycle RAM
- SCSI bus interface (single ended drivers)
- Sustained SCSI transfer rates up to 1.5 Mbytes/s
- Target or Initiator modes
- On-board, user removable SCSI bus terminators
- Subsystem port
- Size 2 TRAM
- Designed to published specifications (INMOS Technical Note 29)
The SCSI TRAM acts as an interface between an INMOS link and the SCSI bus
as defined in the ANSI X3.131-1986 standard. It allows transputer systems
to connect to winchester disks, optical disks, and other peripherals via the
SCSI bus. The SCSI TRAM consists of an IMST222 16-bit transputer with 64 Kbytes
of SRAM for program and data buffers. An intelligent interface device is used
to implement the connection to the SCSI bus which allows common sequences to
proceed without intervention from the IMST222. Target and initiator modes are
supported. On board removable SCSI bus terminators are provided. A standard
port is implemented on the TRAM
