SCSI Adapter Cards

SCSI Adapter Cards

Some PC models are supplied with an Ultra 160 SCSI PCI adapter card. Up 
to a total of 15 devices (internal and external) can be supported by this 
controllers via 16-bit Wide SCSI 68-pin high-density connectors. 

Ultra 160 SCSI PCI Adapter Card

The functionality and performance of the Ultra 160 SCSI PCI Adapter card 
comes from the on-board LSI Logic SYM53C1010 PCI to Ultra 160 
multifunction controller with LVD link universal transceivers. 

The ability to automatically switch from a single-ended (SE) operation for 
legacy Fast/Ultra devices to universal low voltage differential (LVD) 
operation when Ultra 160 devices are connected is also provided by this 
controller.
