ArticlesVESA And PCI Cache Controllers


March 1994 / What's New / VESA And PCI Cache Controllers

The KT-410A VL-Bus ($175) and the KT-910A PCI ($255) IDE cache controller kits support four IDE drives, with a capacity of up to 4 GB each, and two floppy drives. The cache, expandable from 512 KB to 16 MB, is composed of DRAM operating at 80 ns in 256-KB and 1- and 4-MB SIMMs. From BusLogic (Santa Clara, CA), each card has an IDE-disk data rate of 5 MBps, a system-bus data rate of 20 MBps, and an average disk seek time of less than 0.3 ms. In addition to supporting DOS and Windows, the cards provide 32-bit support for NetWare, OS/2, and Unix (SCO, Interactive, and AT&T). The KT-910A PCI controller is software configurable.
