Subj: no...... 91-09-26 12:31:43 EDT From: CVTech Posted on: America Online You mean that fake list price that we never sell a board for ? sure !!!

Subj: Other Platforms?? 91-09-26 23:33:42 EDT From: RShanahan Posted on: America Online Drew, Have you ever though about expanding CVT's horizons to other computing platforms? The Dos world could use an inexpensive Ramfast controller! Rick ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: hmmmm......... 91-09-27 14:32:51 EDT From: CVTech Posted on: America Online Unfortunately there are quite a few "RamFAST" boards in the IBM land but then again .... they sell for $500+ over there and people don't whine about the price (grin). Actually we have a product in the works right now that will sell to all the MAJOR platforms and should make us a fair amount of change. We also have something new for the GS coming next month.

Subj: NO! 91-10-03 01:00:19 EDT From: GlynneT Posted on: America Online Drew seemed to indicate one of the products would work on many computers. All I have to say is, "No! Not another modem manufacturer!" ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: honk. wrong answer. 91-10-03 11:50:09 EDT From: CVTech Posted on: America Online I'd rather go to the dentist that design YET ANOTHER MODEM. We are concentrating on SCSI applications.

Tim ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: 'Generic' Hardware 91-10-03 18:34:37 EDT From: RShanahan Posted on: America Online Glad to hear you're expanding. I'm hesitant to admit, but I'm typing this message on the MS-Dos AO software! Yup, I had to do it. Just ain't enough (productivity) software (DTP) out there and NO font scaling manager (ATM and such). Yes, I know about Contours, but when?? ' Couldn't wait. I'll be running SCSI on the PC, and for now am just going to use the Adaptec AT SCSI/Floppy host adapter. I'll wait for (your??) Caching host! Rick ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: second honk. 91-10-03 19:41:15 EDT From: CVTech Posted on: America Online e cat out of the bag. Right now we are working on a 2 to 1 RAID. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives. In laymans terms what we are making is a device that will allow you to hook up two IDE drives and make one SCSI drive that is twice as fast and twice as large as either single drive. Sooo you can hook up a pair of Quantum 52LPS drives (the AT version) and get a single SCSI drive that is 100 meg but has a sustained transfer rate that is double the performance of the quantum 105. The quantum 105 has a best case performance of about 710k/second. A 2:1 RAID drive using quantum 52AT drives would get about 1420k/second. Performance of 1420k/sec is twice as fast as the 105LPS, about 50% faster than the Quantum 120 and about 5-10% SCSI connector) and a pair of 40 pin headers on the other edge (IDE drives). If this one sells we will very quickly develope a 4:1 RAID (same circuit, more IDE connectors) which would be capable of quadruple performance instead of double and would have the added benefit of being upgradeable in size from the 2:1 RAID. If you fill up your hard drive you just buy another 50 megger and hook it up and your drive gets bigger and faster. We expect we'll make a pretty penny off this circuit. We also plan on making a low cost SCSI caching controller for the IBM at the beginning of next year sometime. Essentially a RamFAST for the IBM people complete with tape and CD-Rom support for under $400. Drew ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products.

Subj: DTP 91-10-06 00:36:36 EDT From: RShanahan Posted on: America Online good, clean output. I can do with Windows/ATM/Microsoft Word in 10 minutes that took literally hours on the GS,(6 Meg, RF/SCSI, TWGS, Harmonie, Parallel Pro, 512K Buffer and LJ IIP). I all of DTP existed below 18 or 24 Point, I'd still be GS'ing. Contours sounded great, I'm just impatient.

The increase in speed I've experienced is extremely satisfactory, so I'll stick with my Adaptec card for now. Rick BTW, will this wonderful card include floppy ports? ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products.

His boss says - "Go get some 2 by 4's" He went. Says- "Gimme some 4 x 2's" Guy says "You mean 2 x 4's?" He says "2 x 4's, 4 x 2's, whatever." Guy says "O.K., how long you want 'em?" Helper says "Well, for quite a while... we're building a house..." :) :) :) :) Keith Whaley ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: For the Apple? 91-10-10 03:43:50 EDT From: GlynneT Posted on: America Online So Drew, what does this product do for the II. As if anyone seems to care anymore. Can this speed improvement be seen on an Apple II with DMA SCSI cards like the, er...RamFAST? ***************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: performance issues... 91-10-10 11:33:05 EDT From: CVTech Posted on: America Online The Apple card wouldn't be able to keep up. The RF will just barely keep up with a pair of 52lps drives. Drew ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: Interface 91-10-10 23:10:25 EDT From: Dan Bandit Posted on: America Online Will it be a standard SCSI interface so I can hook it up to any computer I want? Love to see it run on the IBM in Sync mode. ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: you bet... 91-10-11 11:17:27 EDT From: CVTech Posted on: America Online ce of the individual drives you are using. If you've got the bucks you can hook up a pair of Quantum 210s ($600 each) and get 2.6 meg/sec sustained transfer rate. Drew ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products. Subj: NEW FOR GS? 91-10-12 17:00:57 EDT From: DarwinL1 Posted on: America Online I seem to have missed something. If the RAID device is for the IBM then what is the new product for the GS? Glad to hear that you have not given up on the Apple II as so many others have. Your products are on the cutting edge of technology in the past and I am sure future ones will also. Thank you. ****************************************************** Path: CV Technologies/Upcoming Products.
