Highway [INI-9100A]
PCI to FastSCSI Bus Master Host Adapter

Designed with high-performance multitasking and multimedia environments in mind, the Initio I/OHIGHWAY supports the latest FastSCSI peripherals at up to 10 Mbytes/second, and takes advantage of the 133 Mbytes/second burst rate of the PCI bus to provide unmatched I/O performance. I/OHIGHWAY supports all popular operating systems including DOS®, Windows®3.x, Windows95, Windows NT, OS/2®, SCO® UNIX, UnixWare®, NetWare® and Linux®.

While I/OHIGHWAY 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 seven SCSI-1, SCSI-2, or SCSI-3 peripherals for optimum performance and value. I/OHIGHWAY is the best solution for replacing existing older and slower ISA-based SCSI Host Adapters.

I/OHIGHWAY features SmartSCSI, a user-friendly, BIOS-resident setup utility that allows the configuration of individual device and host adapter termination via the keyboard. The Initio Manager Set, Easi-Install, makes your SCSI software installation under DOS and Windows simple and painless.

I/OHIGHWAY includes both auto-configuration and auto-termination for Plug-and-Play installations in PCI based systems. I/OHIGHWAY will run in Intel-compatible PCI systems.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
I/OHIGHWAY 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 Initio PCI-SCSI engine employs a distinctive Integrated Scatter/Gather Engine (ISGE) to provide the user 100% compatibility with DOS/Windows, Windows95, WindowsNT, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2, SCO Unix, UnixWare, NetWare, and Linux-- all with exceptional overall value.

 Software support includes drivers for the following devices: SCSI hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, re-writable optical drives, WORM drives, multi-function optical drives, and removable drives.
