2-port eSATA PCMCIA CardBus-32 Laptop Adapter
Description
CGS-2ER 2-Port Serial ATA eSATA CardBus PC Card Silicon Image 3112 Chip 16-Bit PCMCIA R7.1 and backward Compatible Supports Serial ATA Rate up to 1.5Gb/s Dual SATA channels w/ eSATA Connectors Compliant with Serial ATA 2.0 Phase 1 Supports Hard Drives Size over 137GB Supports Serial ATAPI Devices Bundle drivers and Windows Supports Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP,Linux INTRODUCTION The CGS-2ER is the most powerful solution to accommodate storage peripherals with the new Serial ATA interface. Any system with a CardBus interface can simply add the Serial ATA devices by adding the CGS-2ER CardBus PC Card and loading the drivers into the system. Serial ATA is a high-speed serial link replacement for the parallel ATA attachment of mass storage devices. The serial link employed is a high-speed differential layer that utilizes Gigabit technology and 8b/10b encoding. The current data rate is 1.5Gb/s (=150MB/s), it also provides a clear roadmap for 3 and 6Gb/s. The supports 2 serial ATA ports with eSATA features, it supports 2 serial ATA devices (one for each). The built-in Silicon Image chip provides 256-byte FIFOs, watchdog, 32-bit CardBus transfer features and complete software. It is the right choice for a CardBus to Serial ATA versatile devices.  SiI 3112 SATALink 2-Port PCI Host Controller SiI 3112 is a single-chip PCI to 2-port Serial ATA (SATA) host controller. The chip is ideal for applications such as servers, workstations and storage systems featuring peripherals with this new storage interface standard. Based on a 32-bit/66 MHz PCI interface, the SiI 3112 provides support for two independent Serial ATA devices and may be incorporated into motherboard or PCI add-in card designs. Applications: Add-in Cards, Embedded Applications, Network Attached Storage, Notebook PCs, PC Motherboards, Server Motherboards, Set-top Boxes, Storage Systems SiI 3112 Serial ATA Other Features & Benefits * Serial ATA (SATA) 1.5 Gbps (150MB/s) * Compliant with SATA 1.0 specification * Integrated SATA Transport, Link logic, and PHY layer * 48-bit sector addressing * Two independent DMA channels with 256B FIFO per channel * Virtual DMA * Command buffering * Supports up to 4MB external FLASH * Supports external BIOS * Supports spread spectrum clocking to reduce EMI * Register compatible with parallel ATA * Single, digital PLL architecture with 1 PLL for both channels <a href=)
