- FREMONT, CALIF. April 1, 1992 -- Trantor Systems, a leading SCSI hardware
- and software manufacturer, has reduced the price of its model T338
- MiniSCSI - the world's first parallel port SCSI host adapter. Effective
- today, the manufacturer's suggested retail price is US$159.00, a $20
- reduction from the previous price of $179.00.
-
- Introduced at COMDEX Fall '90, the MiniSCSI has successfully led the
- market, enabling connections never before possible, such as portable
- CD-ROM applications on notebook and laptop computers, which typically lack
- expansion slots needed for conventional SCSI adapters. Other SCSI devices,
- such as hard drives, magneto-optical drives, SyQuest and Bernoulli
- removable-media products, floptical drives and SCSI floppy drives are also
- supported with the included software drivers. Trantor's Tape Mate software
- ($59.00 List price) is also available for SCSI tape drives.
-
- "The MiniSCSI has been phenomenally successful for us, "said Jim Switz,
- Trantor's Sales and Marketing Manager "and as a result of continually
- growing sales of the product we've been able to reduce our manufacturing
- costs. To spur even greater market penetration we're passing on these
- savings to our resellers. "
-
- The MiniSCSI has earned considerable recognition since its introduction,
- including selection by Jim Seymour as one of the a Best 'Little' Products
- of 1991" (PC Week, Dec. 23, '91) and a "User's Choice Award" from Jerry
- Pournelle in the April '92 issue of Byte magazine.
-
- Trantor's product line also includes the T100 ($89), T128 ($ 159) and T128F
- ($229) ISA Host Adapters and the T228 ($249) for Micro Channel computers,
- as well as a full line of other cost-effective, high-quality SCSI
- products, including internal laptop Host Adapters, Music Box audio control
- software for CD-ROMs, Macintosh CD-ROM driver software and the P3C ASIC
- chip for parallel port peripheral designs. All hardware products include a
- 2-year parts-and-labor factory warranty. Trantor Systems, one of the
- original SCSI-design companies, has been creating and delivering quality
- hardware and software SCSI solutions for over 10 years, and supplies
- products to the IBM-compatible, laptop and Apple Macintosh markets.
