Worldwide Computer Products News-14 August 2001-Compaq's desktops and workstations to feature Ecrix's VXA-1 tape drives (C)1995-2001 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Compaq Computer Corp has signed an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with the US-based tape storage specialist Ecrix Corp.

Under the agreement Compaq will provide both SCSI and IDE versions of Ecrix's VXA-1 tape drives in its commercial desktop and workstations, with shipments expected to begin within 30 days. With the two interfaces, Compaq says it will now be able to meet the high-reliability and performance needs of the mixed SCSI/IDE market with one technology instead of multiple technologies.

Both the SCSI and IDE versions of the VXA-1 tape drive offer capacities up to 66Gb at 6Mb/s, with the VXA-1 IDE tape drive featuring an Ultra DMA mode 2 interface and the VXA-1 SCSI tape drive providing a Fast and Wide SCSI Ultra 2 LVD interface.
