BVM has extended its range of SCSI PMC modules with the addition of an Ultra160 SCSI controller Believed to be the first of its kind, this new module designated the PMC-SCU160, allows system designers to take advantage of the current ranges of Ultra160 peripherals that are now commonplace

Hot-swap PMC carrier will help to keep systems up
The new cPC2PMC from BVM Limited is a 6U Hot Swappable CompactPCI carrier, enabling two PMC modules to be added to a system.
Unlike earlier SCSI controllers, which degrade to match the slowest peripheral on the SCSI bus, the SCU160 has domain validation which allows it to talk to each peripheral at its optimum speed.
This is a clear advantage in systems where a mix high speed disc drives and lower speed CDROMS or scanners share the same SCSI bus.
The SCSI bus supports up to 16 devices in LVD mode or eight devices in SE mode with automatic detection and setup.
The active onboard terminators are controlled by software.
The SCU160 uses the LSI53C1000R and is designed to operate in 32bit/33MHz or 64bit/66MHz PCI environments to achieve data transfer rates of up to 160Mbyte/s.
Onboard Flash memory contains the BIOS and SDMS (SCSI Device Management System) and driver support and SCRIPT code are available for Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems.
