BUSLOGIC INTRODUCES NEW 32-BIT BUS MASTER EISA ETHERNET ADAPTER WITH 3-IN-1 MEDIA SUPPORT New Adapter Supports 10Base-T, Thick or Thin Ethernet SANTA CLARA, Calif., September 15, 1992 -- BusLogic Inc., formerly BusTek Corp., a premier supplier of network controllers, Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus master host adapters and disk array software, today introduced the BT-763E, a 32-bit bus master EISA-based ethernet adapter with 3-in-1 media support. The BT-763E's design makes it possible for integrators and resellers to choose either 10Base-T (unshielded twisted pair), thick or thin ethernet cabling as a medium for connecting the adapter to the network. Using a specially designed configuration file, users can pre-set the BT-763E to support one of the three cable types. The BT-763E also has two diagnostic LED's to detect network activity and monitor integrity status. This provides improved management and troubleshooting capabilities. The incorporation of BusLogic's proprietary bus master interface into the BT-763E allows data transfers which are faster and more efficient than traditional ethernet interfaces and creates minimal CPU intervention. The 33 megabytes per second DMA burst mode transfer of the BT-763E allows EISA machines to function at maximum speed. "The BT-763E offers a high-performance, cost-effective ethernet interface, perfect for today's EISA-based file servers and workstations," said David Bergener, BusLogic's product marketing manager. "This new ethernet adapter complements our existing high-end products by providing an economical EISA solution for small and medium sized networks." The BT-763E ships with software drivers to support NetWare 286 and 386; SCO Unix release 3.2, versions 2 and 4, and Open Desktop (ODT 2.0); Interactive Unix release 3.2, version 3; and PC-NFS, PC/TCP and Telnet. It has a suggested retail price of $549 and is available through BusLogic authorized distributors and resellers.
