• U2-IDE02-S support two IDE (ATA/ATAPI) devices.

U2-IDE02-S is an USB 2.0 to IDE(ATA/ATAPI) bridge board.

It implements a fixed-function bridge between one USB high-speed port and one IDE(ATA/ATAPI) based mass storage device port. The bridge adheres to the Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport Specification (BOT) and is intended for self-powered device.

U2-IDE02-S implements a fixed function bridge between one USB port and one ATA or ATAPI based mass storage device port. This bridge adheres to the Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport specification and is intended for self-powered devices.

The USB port of the U2-IDE02-S is connected to a host computer directly or via the downstream port of a USB hub. Host software issues commands and data to the U2-IDE02-S and receives status and data from the U2-IDE02-S using standard USB protocol.

The ATA/ATAPI port of the U2-IDE02-S is connected to a mass storage device. A 4Kbyte buffer maximizes ATA/ATAPI data transfer rates by minimizing losses due to device seek times.

The ATA interface supports ATA PIO modes 0, 3, and 4, and Ultra DMA modes 2 and 4. The device initialization process is configurable, enabling the U2-IDE02-S to initialize ATA/ATAPI devices without software intervention.

To turn your SCSI enclosure into USB 2.0 Enclose.

This allows peripheral vendors a unique opportunity to continue the advantage of the ATA/ATAPI economies of scale while presenting U2-EIDE02-S into the rapidly expanding USB 2.0 markets, and to replace the slow & expensive SCSI device with cheap & fast EIDE device. SCSI Enclosure vendors using ATA/ATAPI devices now have an immediate and no-risk solution to add USB 2.0 interface to their product lines.
