• FWB-IDE02 support four IDE (ATA/ATAPI) devices.

FWB-IDE02 is ideally suited for tailgate interface applications for ATA hard disk drive. FWB-IDE02 has two IDE channels. Each IDE channel allows ATA drives (Master and Slave) to connect to FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion.

FWB-IDE02 provides RAID (Span) function. FWB-IDE02 is aimed at higher-speed multimedia file storage application. FWB-IDE02 provides the perfect solution for video or image file storage and transferring of data between computers using ATA devices.

This allows peripheral vendors a unique opportunity to continue the ATA economies of scale while presenting FWB-IDE02 into the rapidly expanding FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) markets.

FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) to ATA Bridge Board:

• ATA Interface: Male IDC 2X20 Connector X 2
• Number of ports: External X 2 (Biligual-9pin) and Internal X 1 (Biligual-9pin)
• 1394b PHY: Ti's TSB81BA3
• 1394 Bus Transfer Rate: 100/200/400/800 Mbps
• FireWire (IEEE 1394b) to ATA Native Bridge Controller: initio inic-2430L
• Complies with T13's ATA/ATAPI-7 Draft Specification:
  • PIO Mode 0-4
  • DMA Mode 0-2
  • Ultra DMA Mode 2, 4, 5, 6
  • Supports 48-bit addressing for large hard drives (>128GB).
• Form Factor: SCSI I 50pin Low Density Centronics Connector Form Factor (Fit to most standard SCSI enclosure.)

• 3.33" x 2.00" (8.45cm x 5.00cm)

• Desktop PC: with either a built-in FireWire (IEEE 1394) controller or a FireWire (IEEE 1394) to PCI Host Adapter equipped with a external FireWire (IEEE 1394) port.
• Laptop PC: with either a built-in FireWire (IEEE 1394) controller or a FireWire (IEEE 1394) to CardBus PC Card equipped with a external FireWire (IEEE 1394) port.

• Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/2003/7; MacOS X or higher; Linux
• Driver Requirements
  • FireWire:
    • No driver installation for Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, 7, Mac OS and Linux

• FWB-IDE02 aims at the higher-speed multimedia file storages.
• FWB-IDE02 is designed to have SCSI 1 50pin connector form factor so it's idea for Quad bay SCSI case. SCSI Enclosure vendors who are using the ATA/ATAPI devices now have an immediate and no-risk solutions to add FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) interface to their product lines.
