Conner offers OS/2 Warp support for 4 Gigabyte SCSI/IDE
minicartridge tape drives
COSTA MESA, Calif...November 9...Conner Tape Products Group, a
division of Conner Peripherals Inc., (NYSE:CNR), today announced the
availability of three new high performance tape backup solution packages
for OS/2 Warp users.
These one-inch high, 3.5-inch minicartridge tape systems offer 4GB of
compressed capacity with a data transfer rate of 27MB per minute.
Supporting both SCSI and IDE interfaces in the OS/2 market, Conner's
internal CTM3200 SCSI, CTM4000 IDE, and external CTM3200E drives are
now available with the comprehensive, easy-to-use features of Computer
Data Strategies' Back Again/2 backup and recovery software.
"We are pleased to offer users of Conner's minicartridge tape drives a
complementary high performance hardware and software solution for the
IBM OS/2 Warp environment," said Rich Peters, senior director of
marketing for Conner's Tape Products Group. "Unlike low-end floppy
interface tape products, these solutions are ideally suited for the
performance and storage-intensive requirements of high-end standalone
computers, workstations or small networks in the OS/2 market."
Back Again/2, designed exclusively for systems running OS/2, features
an intuitive graphical interface, a built-in scheduler, a stand-alone
restore facility, password protection, and "drag and drop" file selection
flexibility. The new Conner tape systems back up and restore HPFS,
FAT files and EAs, as well as LAN Server and NetWare file servers.
