摘要: A Buss Interface and Expansion System, which attaches to a SCSI buss provides, means for increasing the number of devices can be attached buss, provides data compressing decompressing data, use by host computer allowing existing drives expand their storage capacity. The disclosed system also enabling an drive mirror another drive, creating virtual out peripheral computer, using RAID algorithms on groups computer. aforereferenced features while requiring only minimal modifications software running system. Through electronically reprogrammable means, updated reprogrammed General purpose processor are included in along with expanding capabilities beyond those implemented preferred embodiment. Additional offered include buffering between host's providing communication capability disk even when two incompatible connectors.
