SCRAMNet+ ISA Interface Board Now Available

Dayton, Ohio, August 14,1995 * SYSTRAN Corp., developer of the SCRAMNet
real-time computer communications network, today unveiled a SCRAMNet+
interface board for ISA-based computers. With this interface, real-time
system designers can combine the performance of the SCRAMNet+ Network with
the price/performance advantages of PCs to develop a real-time network
suitable for applications such as simulation, telemetry, data acquisition,
instrumentation & control, and virtual reality. Features of the SCRAMNet+
ISA interface include:

* A custom-designed ASIC chip which reduces the package to a single
  ISA slot.
* 16.7MB/sec of data throughput.
* 250nSec/node transport delay.
* Automatic retry on error for guaranteed transmission of accurate
  data. Field/user upgradeable memory modules, up to 8MB.
* Separate interrupts for status and memory interrupt events.
* Event counter/timer with global reset for self-diagnostics, network
  performance measurement, and synchronized global timer functions.
* Compatibility & interoperability with existing SCRAMNet nodes.
* Auto-initialization, configurable via EEPROM, minimizing the number
  of hardware switches.
* Coax or fiber optic media options.

The SCRAMNet+ interface for ISA-based computers is currently available with
prices starting at $3495 per node, depending on the configuration.
SCRAMNet support is also available for: VME3U, VME6U, VME9U, EISA, Sbus,
and a rehostable node is available for special requirements.

The SCRAMNet+ Network is a real-time communication system based on a
replicated, shared-memory concept. SCRAMNet+ is optimized for the
high-speed transfer of data--150 Mbits/sec--between computers that are all
solving portions of the same real-time problem. Its ring configuration
achieves microsecond application-to-application performance with zero
software overhead.

Located at 4126 Linden Avenue, Dayton, Ohio 45432-3068 USA (Phone:
513-252-5601,  fax 513-258-2729), SYSTRAN Corp. specializes in realtime
systems simulation and defense-related hardware/software research and
development. The company's SCRAMNet Network is a leading real-time
network, with thousands of nodes used in diverse applications throughout
the world.
