December 1997

What's New
/ CD-ROM-Less CD-ROM Servers
A CD-ROM server that doesn't rely on multiple CD drives for you to access CD-ROM titles, the SuperCD Sharer instead downloads entire CD-ROMs to a hard drive. A basic configuration, which costs $2957, has one 12X CD-ROM drive for downloading titles, a ProLinQ controller, and a 4.7-GB hard drive. The SuperCD Sharer supports up to five hard drives; up to 63 CD-ROM titles, depending on configuration;
and Token Ring, Ethernet, or 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet connections. Axonix says that the server offers transfer rates up to 10 MBps, an access time of 10 ms, and transfer rates equivalent to 66X.
