SYSTRAN Corp. Unveils New SCRAMNet-LX ISA Interface Board at I/ITSEC

Dayton, Ohio, November 28, 1994 - SYSTRAN Corp., developer of the
SCRAMNet-LX Network (a realtime replicated shared-memory system), today
unveiled its new SCRAMNet-LX interface board for ISA-based computers at
I/ITSEC (Interservice/lndustry Training Systems and Education Conference).
With this new interface, real-time system designers can combine the high
performance of the SCRAMNet-LX Network with the price/performance
advantages of 386/486 PCs to produce a cost-effective solution for
applications such as simulation, telemetry, data acquisition,
instrumentation & control, and virtual reality. Features of the
SCRAMNet-LX ISA interface include:

* A custom ASIC chip which reduces the package to a single ISA slot.
* 16.7MB/sec of data throughput.
* 2SOnSec/node transport delay.
* 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-LX interface for ISA-based computers is currently available
with prices starting at $3495 per node, depending on configuration.
SCRAMNet support is also available for: VME (3U, 6U, 9U), EISA, Sbus, GIO,
TURBOchannel, Micro Channel, MULTIBUS, Q-bus, UNIBUS, SelBUS, plus a
rehostable node for special requirements.

The SCRAMNet-LX Network is a real-time communication system based on a
replicated, shared-memory concept. SCRAMNet-LX 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), SYSTRAN Corp. specializes in real-time 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.
