FWU2-IDE02B

FWU2-IDE02B is a FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) & USB 2.0 Combo to IDE (ATA/ATAPI) bridgeboard featuring the Oxford OXUF-922L FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) & USB 2.0 Combo to IDE (ATA/ATAPI) Bridge Controller and Ti's new IEEE 1394b 800Mbps PHY (TSB81BA3) .

Introduction 

FWU2-IDE02B is ideally suited for tailgate interface applications for removable-media drives CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, tape drive, and hard disk drive.  It allows IDE drives (Master and Slave) to be connected to FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion.  Both ATA and ATAPI devices are supported using the same firmware. 

FWU2-IDE02B allows users to easily hot-swap IDE drive without interrupting the current operation. FWU2-IDE02B provides the perfect solution for data backup and transfering of data between computers using IDE (ATA/ATAPI) devices.

  (SCSI I 50pin Connector Form Factor)

APPLICATION
To turn your SCSI enclosure into FireWire & USB 2.0 ComBo enclose

• Designed with the SCSI 1 50pin connector form factor in mind, FWU2-IDE02B is ideal for your SCSI case.
• End users can upgrade their SCSI enclosure to FireWire800 (1394b) & USB 2.0 ComBo enclosure
• SCSI Enclosure vendors selling or integrating ATA/ATAPI devices are provided with an immediate and no-risk solutions to add FireWire800 (IEEE 1394b) & USB 2.0 ComBo interface to their product lines. 

BENEFITS 

End users can replace the slow & expensive SCSI device with affordable & fast FWU2-IDE02B.  It also provides peripheral vendors a unique opportunity to continue the advantage of ATA/ATAPI while presenting FWU2-IDE02B into the rapidly expanding FireWire800 (IEEE 1394b) & USB 2.0 ComBo markets.
