It also provides 10Mbyte/sec "Fast" SCSI performance that is twice as fast as the previously provided built-in Mac SCSI, and 6 times faster that the standard PC parallel port (see chart).
Install With Plug-and-Play Ease
Installation is a breeze. Just remove your computer's case, slide the card into a PCI expansion slot, and connect the SCSI peripherals. You'll be up and running in no time.
