June 23, 1992 - Maitland, Florida - Distributed Processing Technology (DPT), the leading supplier of high performance peripheral controllers, is now packaging a complete suite of high-performance software drivers, comprehensive instruction manual and a SCSI cable with all its SmartCache Plus controllers. This will provide users with the tools they need for hassle-free and easy installation of SCSI devices. The price of the controllers will not change. The device drivers supplied in the bundle include support for DOS, Novell, OS/2 and Unix. DPT's software greatly enhances the performance of these operating systems, especially by allowing 32-bit performance with the EISA version of SmartCache Plus. The comprehensive instruction manual provides a systematic, step-by-step routine for the installation for each operating system, as well as detailed information about the features for the SmartCache controller. The SCSI ribbon cable will provide connections for 2 SCSI devices. "Because we've combined all of our high-performance drivers with SmartCache Plus, our customers now get the entire DPT performance solution all at once," says DPT sales and marketing director Dave Race. "It's easier for our distributors to handle too, and we're more confident users have everything they need as soon as they open the box." SmartCache Plus is the only SCSI controller on the market that can be configured as both a non-caching and a caching controller. The entry-level-priced, non-caching configuration is converted to a high-end caching controller by simply adding DPT's unique plug-on caching module and up to 16 megabytes of cache RAM to the base controller. An add-on mirroring module provides support for a software independent array of mirrored drives. This scalable architecture provides manufacturers and integrators a complete range of price/performance options, suitable for systems ranging from standalone workstations and small networks up to multiprocessor-equipped file servers. Its scalable architecture, price/performance superiority and industry standard compatibility have made SmartCache Plus the SCSI adapter of choice for manufacturers and resellers alike. Computer manufacturers such as AST, NEC, NCR, Intel, Wyse, Wang, Siemens, ICL/Nokia have standardized on SmartCache Plus. It is also available from such leading computer product distributors as Tech Data, Ingram Micro, Merisel and Robec. DPT will continue to sell its device driver software independently for users of DPT's noncaching EISA SCSI controller, SmartConnex/EISA, and for those needing upgrades from older versions of the software. The domestic and international price for each driver is $80. U.S. list prices for DPT's SmartCache Plus controllers are $595 for the ISA version and $785 for the EISA version. International list prices start at $710 for the ISA version and $940 for the EISA version. DPT is a privately held company founded in 1977. Corporate headquarters are near Orlando, Florida with European sales offices located in Milton Keynes (London), England and Penzberg (Munich), Germany. DPT manufactures intelligent, high-performance peripheral controllers for mini- and microcomputer markets. DPT's technology innovations include the first caching disk controller for the PC, the first software-independent RAID solution for the PC and the first cache-convertible controller for the PC. DPT controllers are sold worldwide through a network of major distributors and OEMs. Distributed Processing Technology 140 Candace Dr, Maitland, FL 32751 407-830-5522 +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | From the America Online New Product Information Services | +===============================================================+ | This information was processed with OmniPage Professional OCR | | software (from Caere Corp) & a Canon IX-30 scanner from data | | provided by the above mentioned company.
