Q Peripheral Concepts FOREWORD The 1985 peripheral controller market has expanded into new areas, and so has this year's edition of Controller Concepts. New sections included this year cover SCSI Host Adapters and Imbedded controllers. The Host Adapter market is certainly going through a metamorphosis. As higher performance SCSI controllers and disk drives are coming of age, Host Adapters are no longer restricted to a simple "hardware conversion". By the end of next year, we will likely see a totally new (and rapid growing) Host Adapter marketplace. Imbedded controllers, or the use of controller chips in disk drives, made their debut in 1985. A lot of changes will occur as this new market begins to stru~ture itself. The development of new controller chips. specifically designed for drive use will be one of its segments. As these products become available, we will expand and structure Controller Concepts in tune with changing market conditions. c We are grateful for the many suggestions we received concerning last year's report (our first edition) and have incorporated most of them in this year's report. As we neared completion, we realized that the book had to be split into two volumes. Rather than splitting it by "Low-end vs. High-end" or "Micro vs. Mini", we looked at all of the suppliers and their product lines and essentially followed the same division as the industry. Volume two contains coverage of the DEC-Compatible, Multibus 1/11, VMEbus, and other minicomputer busses. We have changed some of our forecasting categories this ye.r. For example, SASI/SCSI is now forecasted by interface type (XSASI, Full SCSI, etc.) rather than the "old" method of winchester, tape, and multifunction. We have also added additional breakdowns of the foreca~ts, specifically by drive ~nterface in the SCSI section( (i.e., forecasts of ST506/412, ESDI, SMD) and in the IBM-PC section (OEM vs. Captive vs. IBM shipments). Please give us a call if you have any suggestions, questions, or need additional information. We can also provide "custom" reports or do further investigation into a particular niche market.

All controllers, regardless of the type of peripherals they control (i.e.', Winchester, Floppy, Tape, etc.) are grouped within a section by the type of computer or host interface they support. Each chapter also presents its data independently, so you can skip around or start at any chapter without missing any pertinent information on the interface of interest. The Total Forecast section contains a numerical and analytical summary of all the chapters. Also included in this section are the total market numbers from Controller Concepts Volume 2, which contains Multibus, Multibus II, VMEbus, Qbus, Unibus, and other minicpmputer controllers. In this way, the reader can get an idea of the total controller market as well as the impact of the individual markets listed in this volume. . The host interfaces covered in Controller Concepts (Vol 1) are: SASI!SCSI- These peripheral controllers are board-level products which support the "older" SASI, ISASI, and SA1403 interfaces, as well as SCSI products adhering to various levels of the SCSI specification developed by the ANSI I3T9 subcommittee. Controller Concepts partitions SCSI products into three types: 1) ISASI!SASI 2)Basic SCSI and 3) Full SCSI (This partitioning method is described on page SCSI-6). IBM-PC!IT!AT- These peripheral controllers are board-level products which support IBM!s line of personal computers. Since IBM continues to buy controllers as an OEM, these shipments are included along with other OEM purchases. ( Host Adapters- These board-level products convert a computer specific host interface (IBM-PC, Apple II, Multibus, VMEbus, etc.) into a SASI!SCSI interface. Although host adapters are not technically controllers, they are an essential part of the integration of SCSI to many computer systems. This chapter contains host adapters for both microcomputer and minicomputer systems. INTRO-l (9 Peripheral Concepts Semiconductor Controllers- These controllers consist of single-chip, chip-sets, and support devices sold on an OEM basis for developing peripheral controller board-level products. Imbedded Controllers- This new chapter of Controller Concepts addresses semiconductors products intended for use within the peripheral and are typically sold directly to the peripheral vendor for use in manufacturing intelligent drives. Today's controller chips used on board-level )roducts are also used for imbedding. Forecasts for this section includes conventional and unique controller chips used for this purpose. Most sections are then further divided into the types of peripherals that the controller supports: C Winchester- Controller products supporting one or more winchester or rigid disk drives of various form factors. Floppy- Controller products which support only floppy disk interfaces of various capacities and form factors. Tape- Controller products which support 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, data cassette, or any other sequential access streaming or start/stop tape drive. Multifunction- Controller products which support more than one type of peripheral such as Floppy/Winchester, Winchester/ Tape, and Winchester/Floppy/Tape controllers. Some sections have further breakdowns unique to that interface. These breakdowns are described in the associated chapters. There are also two other sections: Product Matrix- A detailed list of all controller products in production or scheduled for production by the first quarter of 1986. The products are again grouped by host interface. Manufacturers' Profiles- A brief description of each supplier and the product lines manufactured. o rI ~ ~-, INTRO-2 Peripheral Concepts _~"""'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''--'-'''_:oo'~''''~'..,.,., •..,.."",\~;u ....... .• ""'~"" .......~,_"""'.,.......""'!.<#i~ ....,. ........ ! .....

A Guide to Interpreting the Numbers To save time in analyzing revenue and shipment numbers, keep the following points in mind: Constant Dollars- All revenues are. listed in 1985 Dollars with no discount rates applied. Calendar Years- All revenues/shipments are reported in calendar years, not fiscal years. Make appropriate adjustments to your situation. c Manufacturers- All revenues/shipments represent products manufactured by U.S. companies for world-wide consumption, regardless of the physical location of the manufacturing facility. Included are imports by overseas manufacturers intended for U.S. consumption. In other words, the destination of product is always the U.S. Market Shares- All market share data is listed in revenues for calendar year 1984. , Captive Products- Captive products·listed are those controllers used in other products manufactured by the same supplier for internal consumption. For example, a board-level controller supplier who also manufactures subsystems, will ship some of their board-level production "buried" in the subsystems. Likewise, an OEM semiconductor supplier who also sells board-level products will ship some devices captively, or on their own board-level products • • . ~ ! INTRO-3 (9 Peripheral Concepts· Market Trends Peripheral Concepts estimates the total controller market/all" categories to be: REVE"NUES ($) SHIPMENTS 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 512.4M 581.9M 693.1M 826.3M 979.2M 12.1M 15.2M 18.6M 22.0M 26.1M Revenues of the peripheral controller market are expected to produce a compo~nd annual growth of 17.6% from 1984 to 1988. From 1984 to 1985, revenue growth was 13.6%, down significantly from the 1983-84 period. The sluggish growth experienced in the computer industry certainly affected the overall controller market growth, but their was also a lag of 6-9 months before most suppliers experienced a downturn in new ~ and existing orders. With few exceptions, the second quarter of 1985 "" revealed the strongest decline. Flat growth is now occuring during the third quarter, so it is likely that the worst is over. A mode~~te recovery is expected during the second and third quarters ~ of 1986, with an estimated 19.1% annual growth rate from 1985 levels. Year-to-year revenue growth is expected to stabilize within the 19.0% to 19.5% range through 1987. Unit shipments are a different story. An impressive 22.8% increase over 1984 levels are projected for 1985, increasing to 36.4% annually by 1988. The main driving factor is the introduction of many new semiconductor controller products. both in OEM and imbedded controller segments. Compound unit growth rate for o INTRO-4 Peripheral Concepts I \. the forecast period is estimated at 19.4% for chips, 29.6% for board-level products. By 1989, total revenues for all controller products will break the Billion Dollar mark. The IBM-PC controller segment will account for 37.1% of all revenues generated in 1985, or roughly $216.1 Million. The second strongest market is expected to be semiconductors at 18.9%, with revenues of $109.9 Million. In third place is the SASI/SCSI board-level market, which will actually decline in overall revenue share from 1984 to 1985~ from 15.0% to 14.4%. The strong growth of IBM shipments and semiconductors will account for SCSI's loss of share. But actual ;;. revenues for this market will increase from $76.7 Million to $83.7 ~ Million during this period. The two .ignificant growth markets over the forecast (1984 to 1988) are Host Adapters and SASI/SCSI controllers. Host Adapters will experience a strong compound annual growth in revenues of 69.2%, but the total market is relatively small; remaining below the $50 Million mark in 1988. SASI/SCSI products will grow at.a compound rate of • 20.8%, from 1984 revenues of $76.7 Million to 1988's projected $163.1 Million. Semiconductor peripheral controllers are becoming more of an OEM product rather than mostly captive (shipped on board-level controllers), as traditional microprocessor and merchant-market suppliers introduced new products during 1985. There is also some indication that the "build vs buy" decision is reverting back to a "build" status (over the last three years, this market has seen many OEMs 'specifying complete board products instead of purchasing . I INTRO-5 @periPheral Concepts controller chips). However, a strong shift from captive to OEM will not occur until late 1986, when volume production and second-sources ( are established for these new suppliers. The compound growth rate for all semiconductors over the forecast period is expected to be 17.0%, from $89.7 Million in 1984 to $168.1 Million in 1988. Approximately 62.6% of 1984's chip revenues came from shipments of floppy controller devices. By 1988, only 51.7% of revenues will be derived from this source, indicating almost a double growth rate for LSI winchester controllers. Nevertheless, over 11 million floppy controller chips will ship in 1985. The imbedded controller market is a new segment for the industry. This market, with virtually no shipments in 1984, is expected to increase to 817,000 units by 1988. Reienues (which are on an "if-sold" basis, since product is really shipped within a disk or tape drive) are ( expected to be $33.2 Million by 1988, primarily coming from purchases by drive manufacturers. Finally, the markets covered in this volume (SASI/SCSI, IBM-PC, Host Adapters, Semiconductor, and Imbedded) will account for 70.3% of the , controller market in 1985, or $360.26 Million. the remaining 29.7% ($152.14 Million) is shared among the DEC-compatible, Multibus, VMEbus, Data General NOVA, Perkin-Elmer, and Texas Instruments minicomputer controller markets. And like most other markets in the electronics industry, IBM will remain the largest customer in the foreseeable future.

SM '1'otal RevwlU88I INTRO-9 @periPheral Concepts THE SASI/SCSI IKTERFACE Introduction The SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) is an attempt to standardize a generic, dedicated I/O (Input/Output) bus for small systems. The concept of the I/O bus is not new. Minicomputer and mainframe manufacturers have been using I/O busses for at least ten years. The most prominent example is the IBM I/O Channel, which is really where SCSI got its start. The need for I/O busses stems from the unique characteristics of peripherals. Minicomputer and mainframe manufacturers, long-time users of I/O busses, realized long ago that large peripherals (such as an SMD disk drive or a reel-to-reel tape unit) have unique operating requirements relative to the other CPU oriented system functions. The internal host busses of these larser computers were designed for use , by memory boards, DMA controllers, co-processors, etc. They did not operate efficiently with the serial, sector block protocols of . peripherals. The high-end manufacturer found that by creating a separate I/O bus, based upon the requirements of these peripherals, data transfers between computer and peripheral could be done more efficiently. As an added bonus, future systems (which normally used an advanced but incompatible CPU bus) could still use the same - peripherals as its previous model, saving development time. Even SCSI-l (9 Peripheral Concepts today, the most costly and time consuming development phase of a new l computer design remains in peripheral support and efficient I/O handling. SCSI goes one step further than the older I/O bus designs. On larger systems, the I/O bus was captive (i.e., the computer manufacturer developed the bus for use only on their own machines). SCSI is an I/O bus that is designed to be generic. That is, it operates in the same manner independent of the type of computer or host connected to it. Although SCSI certainly enjoys the benefits of I/O bus efficiencies, ~ this was not the motive for its creation. SCSI was originally developed by peripheral and controller manufacturers, not by anyone computer maker. Even in its early days, ( the goal of SCSI was to ultimately use it as a disk drive bus. These "intelligent" or SCSI bus peripherals would be sold directly to the computer manufacturer on an OEM basis. However, this assumes that computer manufacturers will adopt and implement SCSI, regardless of the maka or model of computer. Such universal standards do exist today, like the RS-232 interface. ~owever, so far, SCSI has not been widely accepted by the major computer OEMs. Until it does, SCSI will be limited to the systems integrator and the add-on market. But there is "evaluation" activity occuring at many computer OEMs .including Apple, AT&T, Data General, Datapoint, Digital Equipment, NCR, Sperry, and Texas Instruments. o SCSI-2 Peripheral Concepts 1 i I ! ! I k ,~ Obviously, many factors will determine the long-range success of SCSI. Probably the most important is the availability of controller products which meet the ANSI specification for SCSI. Odd as it may seem, the t" majority of products shipped today (called "ISASI" or "SASI") are not SCSI at all. While it is true that these products represent a detriment to the growth of SCSI, they are also the cause of standardization efforts by ANSI and the industry. Most controller companies now have "SCSI-compliant" products available, which now offer ~ better price/performance than the older ISASI/SASI c·ontro11ers. SCSI-3 (9 Peripheral Concepts / Historical Background l The original SCSI, called SASI (Shugart Associates Systems Int~rface) was developed as a way to interface winchester disk drives (of varying device-level interfaces) to computers. In a sense, SASI was intended as a "cushion" to the rapid changes expected in winchester disk technology. In particular, changes in data transfer rates. In 1979, floppy disk manufacturer Shugart Associates, in conjunction with controller manufacturer Data Technology Corporation, developed the first SASI product. This effort was prompted by Shugart's entry into the small winchester business. The interface requirements for Shugart's new winchester drive, the model SA1000, could not be satisfied by using the standard a-inch floppy interface (from a c technical standpoint), and the traditional SMD interface was considered too costly. Follow-on products would also feature significant increases in capacity (the original SA1000 offered five megabytes, unformatted). A new interface was developed for the SA1000, which was a modification of the existing a-inch .floppy protocol. Data i Technology had already developed an I/O channel interface similar to SASI, and could manufacture controllers for use with the SAlOOO. Without controllers, potential customers for the drive could not even perform the simplest evaluation. Hence, the SASI interface was born. A year later, the SAlOOO interface was slightly modified by Seagate Technology to form the now popular ST506 interface. ( o SCSI-4 Peripheral Concepts \ During 1980 and 1981, NCR Corporation had developed a proprietary I/O interface called the Byte Serial Interface (BSI) for use on their next generation machines. The BSI had many of the characteristics of SASI, but of course, since the two interfaces were developed independently, they were incompatible. NCR's desire to use an industry-standard interface resulted in a joint effort with Shugart AssoCiates to produce an enhanced version of SASI called SASI-B or SASI-II. To help further promote the market for SASI, both Shugart and NCR brought the SASI-B specification to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for approval. ANSI formed the task group ANSC X3T9.2 to develop the specification. The ANSC group wou1d not allow a vendors name in the title of the document, and changed the title from SASI to SCSI :( (Small Computer Systems Interface). Many new additions, including a general expansion of the spec (to include other devices besides winchesters and floppies), were incorporated into the document. SASI vs. SCSI From 1980 through the early part of 1983, there were no single chip controllers available for SCSI, SA1000, or even ST506. As a result, winchester controllers were implemented as add-on board-level products. Consisting of semi-custom chip sets and off-the-shelf devices, these controllers either mounted inside the computers' chassis or on the drive itself. The most popular winchester controller board_became Xebec Corporations's S1410, a SASI to ST506 controller designed to mount on a 5 1/4 inch winchester drive. Many systems SCSI-5 I I o Peripheral Concepts houses used the S1410 to evaluate and integrate their first winchesters into new systems. Unfortunately, the S1410 implemented the original SASI specifications with some minor differences in command and status protocols. The controller product inherently became non-compliant with the ANSC-revised SCSI specification. These differences have caused the industry to split into two camps: one being SI410-compatible, and the other being SCSI-compatible. The Sl410-compatible controllers are called "ISASI" or SASI, while the others use the SCSI name. Without a clear nomenclature- established, many manufacturers are now referring to their ANSC-compatible SCSI products as being "Basic-SCSI" or "Full-SCSI". Although these descriptions are somewhat nebulous, "Full-SCSI" usually means that the c product implements the reconnect/disconnect and arbitration protocol options in the SCSI spec. The "Basic-SCSI" products are compliant with SCSI, but do not implement reconnect/disconnect or arbitration options. Because of industry acceptance of these terms, forecasts and trends in this chapter will be referenced by Basic SCSI, Full SCSI, and ISASI/SASI. The main difference between the older ISASI and the newer SCSI controllers is that ISASI typically operates with only one controller or device on the bus, while SCSI has the option to work with multiple devices and/or multiple computers. The key word in the previous sentence is "option". A manufacturer can correctly call a product SCSI-compatible, even though it delivers the same (or even less) performance than an older ISASI/SASI controller. Hence, the terms ( o SCSI-6 Peripheral Concepts ( Basic SCSI and Full SCSI say little about the performance of a particular product. Because of the momentum of the installed base of XSASI controllers, they. still represent a significant portion of 1984's shipments. But things have changed. Many controller manufacturers have been working on SCSI gate-array! semi-custom devices for the past 18 months. Many or XSASI controller products. Technical Background The move from XSASI to SCSI is more than ~conomic. The growing popularity of SCSI can also be attributed to its "device independence". There are basically two types of interfaces used on storage devices, 1) device-level and 2) intelligent. Device-level interfaces consist of many signal lines, each dedicated to perform a single, somewhat primitive function. A controller is installed between the computer and peripheral to convert the device-level signals to SCSI-7 o Peripheral Concepts computer-compatible (serial) data and control. The controller must apply different types of signals to these lines, sometimes in sequence, to instruct the peripheral to perform a task. For example, to instruct a disk drive to read a desired file, the controller must first seek the head to the appropriate cylinder. This function alone requires many separate electrical pulses. The controller must then find the desired data within the current cylinder, extract the applicable sectors which make up the file, check for errors (sometimes correct them and/or retry), convert the serial data from the disk into paralrel form, then give the data to the computer for further processing. It sounds complicated, and it is, but a device-level interface is still the most cost-effective way to integrate a winchester disk drive ( into a system. Some of the more popular device-level interfaces are ST506/412, SMD, and most recently, ESDI. These types of winchester drives are price competitive, multi-sourced', and available in a wide variety of capacities and performance levels. But they all share two major problems: 1) The computer must know where each sector of data is located as well as how many there are, and 2) The controller must know the electrical parameters (in great detail) of each signal line. As winchester techn010gy continues to change, so will these parameters. The computer OEM or system integrator cannot take advantage of a new, higher performance disk drive without rewriting software and/or changing the hardware when a more efficient device-level interface is available. Similarly, the peripheral o SCSI-8 Peripheral Concepts j (. manuf.cturer cannot offer better performance o~ higher capacities in the new drive under the constraints of the current interface. This situation has probably been the biggest detriment to the introduction of high capacity, high performance winchesters. On the other hand, an "intelligent" interface such as SCSI, solves these two problems. SCSI contains a standard set of commands, each performing a complex function. In the above example, in order to read a file via SCSI, the computer simply sends the address of the data and issues a "Read" command to the SCSI bus. The SCSI controller (or SCSI-based peripheral) finds ihe data and presents it on the bus, ready to be received by the computer in parallel form. Aside from the , ~ simplicity, the significant advantage here is that the computer C' specifies a "logical" block as an addresS of the data, rather than a "physical" sector and cylinder location. Problem 1 above is solved: the disk capacity and its organization of sectors/cylinders can change with little or no impact on software. Rather than being composed of individual signal lines, SCSI uses a common 8-bit bus (with optional Parity) for data, commands, and status. Problem 2 is solved: The data rate or functionality of individual control lines can change without any effect on the SCSI bus. In fact, the computer does not even know such a device-level bus exists, since all communications are handled via the SCSI protocol. Figure 1 illustrates the two popular ways that SCSI is used. Both configurations use a "host adapter" or a computer-specific board which ( SCSI-9 (9 Peripheral Concepts l converts the system's internal bus into an SCSI I/O bus. There are also various levels of sophistication that a host adapter may employ (see the section on host adapters for a detailed discussion). In Figure 1. the bottom configuration shows an SCSI peripheral communicating directly to the bus. while at the top, an SCSI add-on controller (typically mounted on the disk drive) is shown between the peripherals and the SCSI bus. These controllers can be considered "protocol converters". converting the SCSI interface to a device-level peripheral bus.

Typical SCSI Implementations The lack of SCSI peripherals, winchester or otherwise, keeps the independent controller/peripheral configuration the most popular in use today. Even as SCSI peripherals become widely available, separate ( o SCSI-lO Peripheral Concepts !t controllers will continue to be popular. The .low cost of device-level ; winchester drives, the ability to "mix and match" controller and peripheral, the availability of multifunction controllers (i.e., tape and winchester controller on a single board), and the higher level of sophistication available in dedicated controllers will all contribute to the long-term board-level controller market. In other words, at any given point in time, it is likely that there will be a controller with more performance/sophistication than can fit "imbedded" in the disk drive. There will always be two co-existing applications: High performance and low cost. The cost of the host adapter keeps the SCSI system (host adapter/controller/drive) at a price disadvantage when compared to other alternatives such as a bus-specific controller. But that additional cost buys expansion capability. As these systems truly implement multiple peripherals on the SCSI bus (a situation that is virtually non-existent today), the price of the host adapter can also be amortized over the number of peripherals, r~ducing the total system I cost. But host adapters which support multiple peripherals (or "targets" as the ANSC spec calls them) will require increased functionality and hence, increased cost. Semiconductors for SCSI become the critical path for the future success of this interface, as these chips can be used in host adapter, drive, and controller.· SCSI's multiple peripheral/multiple host capability is its most attractive feature. As the office systems market continues to mature, many new and older machines are being adapted for networking. SCSI is SCSI-II @periPheral Concepts ~~~--~-----~.-=-==~=- -------~.- ............... , well suited for this application, either as a file server or a local ( shared resource. A Changing Market As mentioned earlier, the cost of an SCSI system today is more expensive than traditional alternatives. The price of the the host adapter, controller, or SCSI peripheral is more costly than a dedicated bus-specific controller coupled to a device-level winchester disk drive. This alternative does not support the expansion . capabilities of SCSI, but in some applications, particularly a single-user personal computer market, cost outweighs these expansion benefits. Add-on board products available for these computers now perform multiple functions, thereby preserving the available number of C slots for system expansion. XSASI and host-specific controllers which feature multiple peripheral support (winchester/tape, winchester/floppy, etc.) compete with SCSI implementations in the single host/multiple peripheral configuration • • Many of these products perform peripheral-to-peripheral communications internally, keeping the bus free. Unfortunately, it is at this level that most computer OEM's"and system integrators begin to see the benefits of SCSI. An SCSI floppy disk drive or an SCSI floppy controller has an extremely limited market. Today's pricing of floppy disk drives and LSI floppy controllers enable the computer OEM to integrate a floppy ( o SCSI-12 Peripheral Concepts into the base system at very low cost (in some cases, for less than $50). One must question the advantage of a second floppy disk drive on the SCSI bus, even if supported by a multifunction controller. In fact, the low recurring costs of a floppy controller/drive has made this peripheral "standard" on all but the lower-end home machines, a market that is clearly not SCSI territory. SCSI peripherals, or those peripherals containing an imbedded SCSI i r ,I i controller, will compete with the SCSI controller board-level market. But most peripheral manufacturers will initially purchase standard and custom controller chips for integration into their drives, at least until in-h~use controller ~xpertise is developed. A controller company which supplies both chips and board-level products can take advantage of this new market. By 1988, over 30% of all winchester controller chips will be sold via this channel. In the short term, many SCSI buyers will continue to prefer separate controller and drive procurement to retain maximum price and performance flexibility. The majority of SCSI devices avaiiable today have been limited to winchester and tape peripherals simply because it was these manufacturers who were responsible for the development and promotion of SCSI. Both the printer and communications market has not experienced much interest. The popular Centronics-parallel and RS-232 interfaces are low in cost, supported by virtually all computer manufacturers, and present stiff competition on a price-basis with ~. SCSI. The communications market generally finds SCSI quite limited, 'f particularly in terms of its data rate and contention protocol when SCSI-13 @periPheral Concepts _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .~ ___ ~_~~_~ ___________________ o ___ ~ _________________ ~~_ compared with traditional data communications alternatives. Both these ( markets will grow, but not until a major computer OEM chooses SCSI as a "standard" port on the back of the system. There is much speculation this year of such an event happening at IBM, Digital Equipment, AT&T, and Apple. We believe Apple will be the first major user, followed closely by AT&T. Don't expect too much activity before the second quarter of '86. DEC's renewed interest in QBUS may have positive connotations for SCSI, but not in the near term. In the case of IBM, the use of a generic interface doesn't make sense. Despite strong speculation, any company with the clout to set industry standards has little to gain by adopting an interface used by its much smaller competitors. The "vendor unique" and "optional" commands in the SCSI specification C has caused many of today's products to be ·software-incompatible. There are no guidelines or levels of SCSI supported in the ANSC specification. The "mandatory" command set~ which all devices must recognize, is too limited to allow even the simplest firmware or host adapter to support only those commands. The end result is the SCSI designer must modify firmware and/or driver routines each time a different vendors' product is qualified. This problem continues to slow the growth of SCSI. A low cost, high-volume controller chip for SCSI may stabilize these command choices in the future, but these devices will probably be available from a variety of vendors with slightly different command support, or simply allow any command to be passed along the bus. Another possibility, and one that holds the most ( o SCSI-14 Peripheral Concepts ( promise, may be a de facto solution. One manufacturer becomes a dominant supplier of SCSI controllers, forcing all others to manufacture command-compatible products. This would not be the first (or last) time that an industry standard became established in this way. e ( SCSI-IS (9 Peripheral Concepts Product Definition Products and forecasts within this group refer to XSASI/SASI, Basic SCSI (non-arbitrating) and Full SCSI (reconnect-disconnect) board-level controllers of various form factors. These controllers interface to a variety of peripherals including winchesters, tapes, and floppies. During Calendar year 1984, there were 11 manufacturers shipping 54 products.

Revenues from 1984 to 1985 will experience a gr~wth of 9.2%, whil~ shipments for the same period will increase 19.5% from 338,600 to 404,700 units. The slower short-term growth in the computer industry is partly responsible for this near term slowdown, which is expected to recover during the second half of 1986. , I The shift from XSASI to SCSI is occuring ahead of our 1984 predictions. It is evident now that 17% of the ISASI business will I give way to SCSI before the end of 1985. A proliferation of semiconductor products for SCSI (Both custom and semi-custom) will allow Basic and Full SCSI controllers to compete on a price and form factor basis with XSASI. Over the 5-year period from 1984 to 1988, XSASI/SASI will experience a negative compound annual. growth rate of -26.0% in revenues. Part o~ the SCSI controller board-level business is also shifting to imbedded controllers and intelligent drives. This new market is almost SCSI-17 (9 Peripheral Concepts • exclusively chips and chip-sets sold directly to peripheral vendors. It is estimated that the SCSI board-level controller market will lose ( 12-15% share to imbedded controllers by 1986. However, a grow1rig need "for higher performance controllers (especially in the Basic SCSI configuration) will prevent this share from increasing substantially in future years. The lower performance level SCSI controllers and SASI type controllers will be the first markets to deteriorate, being displaced by imbedded controllers. Optical disk drives represent a prime candidate for SCSI, more so than ESDI. The characteristics of optical data storage are different than winchesters. SCSI can "hide" these differences from existing operating systems and applications software. The first products will likely be board-level controllers, particularly multifunction units capable of Co controlling both optical and winchester disk drives on the same board. It is expected that by the end of 1986, major OEM commitments will materialize for SCSI. This boost to the market will result in a "second-wind" for SCSI, causing a much sharper growth rate towards the end of 1986 and beyond. This dema~d should also diversify SCSI into non-storage related products. Technology Trends The SCSI controller market has been primarily dominated by winchester-only controllers, representing 73.3% of revenues, or $56.2 Million in 1984. Multifunction products accounted for only $13.5 ( o SCSI-18 Peripheral Concepts Million or 17.6% of 1984's market. We expect a definite shift to .ult\Iunction controllers over the next several years, particularly in the Tape/Winchester combination. The need for back-up of higher capacity winchesters coupled with the wide acceptance of the QIC-36 tape interface will allow multifunction controllers to reach 27% revenue share or $44.0 Million by 1988. rhe QIC-02 interface, dominating tape-only and multifunction revenues by 61.7% or $12.5 Million in 1984, will dwindle down to approximately 10.1% by 1988. The ~dup1ication" highe~ price tag of QIC-02 drives as well as the of intelligence in both the drive and controller, is Jharp1y increasing the use of the QIC-36 tape interface in new lpp1ications. By the end of ~986, over half of all the :ape/mu1tifunction controllers shipped (62.1%) will use the QIC-36 LnteC ace. The only event which could cause a contingency to QIC-36's iominance, is the acceptance of the IBM 3480 tape cartridge for use in microcomputer systems. We believe the 3480 will eventually penetrate :his market, but not until late 1987-88, and will most likely utilize :he SCSI interface rather than a ~he "native~ environment ~uch as QIC-36. traditional ST506/412 controller, though not declining on an lbsolute revenue basis, will make way for ESDI products. Less than .2% ~evenue share in 1984, ESDI controllers will account for 19.6% of all linchester controllers shipped in 1988, representing $19.8 Million in ~evenues. The ST506/412 controller will still retain 80.2% revenue Jhare in 1988, down slightly from the 93.9% share or $52.8 Million in ~984. ESDI products will have the most effect on SMD winchester-only ( SCSI-19 Q Peripheral Concepts f --------.~. ~-- ..---"-------------------- controllers, declining from its 5.9% share in 1984 to less than .2% by ( 1988. The Basic SCSI configuration will continue in a strong growth mode as the need for Full SCSI is circumvented by the growth in multifunction controllers. Likewise, new designs will continue to find the higher performance, Basic SCSI controllers more than adequate to meet design goals. Basic SCSI, which represents 34.9% of the 1984 market, will grow to 52.0% by 1988. But by 1987, it is expected that Full SCSI will begin to gain a foothold, capturing 25% of the 1988 marketplace. Imbedded controllers and chips will present significant competition to the overall SCSI board-level controller market. These drives will at least be equal in price to discrete controller and drive purchases. Likewise, the price differential between the older SASI controllers ~. and most basic SCSI products will be less than 10% by the end of 1985. Co~troller products will have to rely on hi~her performance and advanced functions to maintain market share. Basic SCSI interfaces will be·available on many disk drives in the near future. But advanced L controller features such as caching, synchronous transfers, advanced error" correction," file-serving, etc., will remain in the controller. An often overlooked characteristic of SCSI is its performance range. A computer system costing $2500 and one costing $25,000 can both use SCSI effectively because of its wide range of performance options. Personal computers, Supermicro's, low-end CAD/CAM, and engineering workstations are all excellent markets for SCSI.

Performance degradation occurs when several levels of protocol conversions have to be made from SCSI to the host bus. The potential number of SCSI "sockets" has yet to influence the true merchant semiconductor suppliers to develop dedicated silicon for SCSI. In fact, microprocessor suppliers are just now beginning to ship ST506/412 winchester controller chips, usually as part of their microprocessor family of support devices. If the same were done for SCSI, every microprocessor design would have the potential to contain an SCSI port, and that would have 8 very positive impact on the size of this market. t.., r , SCSI-21 (9 Peripheral Concepts Key Assumptions o XSASI/SASI controllers will continue to lose market share to Basic and Full SCSI products. o Major OEM commitments will be made towards SCSI in the second half o£ 1986. o Multifunction controllers (Winchester/Tape) will gain significant acceptance and boost the Basic SCSI configuration. o SCSI is a strong contender for optical disk drives, both in the imbedded and board-level marketplace. o Higher performance Basic SCSI products will be adequate for most applications, slowing the short-term growth of Full SCSI.

Peripheral Concepts ( THB IBM PC/IT/AT IRTBIFACB Introduction When IBM first introduced its Personal Computer, many industry observers doubted IBM's ability to penetrate an unfamiliar market. It was questionable whether IBM could gain a strong foothold against the established players such as Apple, Tandy, and Commodore. There are no more doubts. No other company or product, in the history of the computer industry, has started from zero and captured the majority of . market share as fast as IBM and their personal computer product has done. The minicomputer/mainframe-dominated office, especially the Fortune 500 corporations, thought little of personal computers before the CIBM-PC. These companies typically used two classes of machines. A mainframe or high-end minicomputer, supplying processing power to a limited number of users (mainly clerical and order entry), and stand-alone dedicated word processing computers used within individual departments for secretarial services. Other levels within the organization, particularly the middle manager, had little or no access to computers. IBM's personal computer not only legitimized this class of machine as an office tool, but was marketed to fill this middle manager void without affecting their strongest business: the mainframe market. The recent introduction of the 3270 SNA adapters for the IBM-PC further enforces the mainframe/personal computer synergy and IBM's overall market strategy. IBMPC-l o Peripheral Concepts Recent estimates show that the IBM-PC and compatible machines now account for 70% to 85% of all computers sold in the $2,000 to $5,000 price range. There are over 1,300 companies supplying add-on products for these machines. There is more add-on hardware available for the IBM-PC than all other computers combined. In terms of software, there are over 2,500 applications programs available, taking second place only to Apple Computer's "Apple II" series. Historical Background This phenomenal four-year growth was not achieved using standard IBM methods. In 1981, IBM formed the Entry Systems Division in Boca Raton, Florida, which became a dedicated, separate marketing and manufacturing (or at least systems assembly) facility for the IBM personal computer series. This concept is not new within IBM, as a ( decentralizing strategy for new product lines has been a trend within the company for the past several years. The.ESD group also operated differently than other IBM facilities, particularly in terms of procurement and material qualification. Non-standard IBM methods are not solely responsible for the success of their personal computer. Much of the initial software was obtained from outside sources. The popular CP/M operating system was chosen for the machine in its 16-bit'version, called CP/M-86. Also supplied was another operating system called MSDOS, developed by Microsoft Corporation (the IBM version is called PCDOS). The majority of third ( o IBMPC-2 Peripheral Concepts l ~arty applications software available today runs under PCDOS, as this third party software played a major role in the success of the IBM-PC. Likewise, the hardware of the machine was marketed as having an "open architecture". The basic PC's five expansion slots and the IT's eight expansion slots presented opportunity to new and existing add-on suppliers, while at the same time, further insured the success of the machine through third party suppliers. It was somewhat risky though, developing a whole new bus specification instead of using an existing standard, (S-100 was most dominant at the time). But IBM's willingness . to make technical specifications available to the public far outweighed this disadvantage. There were also factors that put the new product at a disadvantage C-elative to gaining acceptance. The IBM-PC is a very conservative design. It did not offer any technological or superior features compared to similar priced machines already on the market. In fact, on a feature-by-feature basis, it was more expensive than any of its competitors. But the IBM name, reputation for support, substantial • service/distribution facilities, advertising dollars, and established were all part of a complex marketing strategy that transformed the machine into an overnight success. PRODUCT EVOLUTION The entire IBM-PC continues to be purchased outside as sub-assemblies, with only final test and assembly performed. We believe IBM will ( IBMPC-3 CD Peripheral Concepts eventually take PC manufacturing captive to maintain market share, reduce costs, and support future price reductions. From a management standpoint, the company has already brought the ESD group back under the corporate umbrella. This is a sure sign that IBM corporate views the PC product line as a maturing business. IBM is now building their own 5 1/4" winchester disk drives. Drives for the AT model are being built in Rochester, Minnesota and XT drives in Fujisawa, Japan. The company also has additional disk drive manufacturing capability in Havant, England and Boulder, Colorado. Producing the remaining printed circuit boards and associated hardware is a relatively simple task when compared to disk drive manufacturing. The company has secured second-source and/or manufacturing rights on all custom and semi-custom components used within the PC from their c vendors. Since the introduction of the original IBM-PC in 1981, many ditferent versions were introduced. The current product line and their memory/mass storage configurations are as follows: • IBM-PC: 64 Kilobytes or 256 Kilobytes of RAM, No Floppy drive, or 1 single-sided drive, or two double-sided Floppy drives. IBM-PC/XT: 128 Kilobytes or 256 Kilobytes of RAM, 1 double-sided Floppy drive and 1 ten Megabyte Winchester drive. IBM-PC/XT: 256 Kilobytes of RAM, 1 double-sided Floppy drive. IBM-PC/XT: 256 Kilobytes of RAM, 2 double-sided Floppy drives. IBM-PC Portable: 256 Kilobytes of RAM, 1 or 2 double-sided half-high Floppy drives. IBM-PCjr (Entry): 64 Kilobytes of RAM.

IBM-PC/AT (Enhanced): 512 Kilobytes of Ram, 1 half-high 96 TPI Floppy drive and 1 twenty Megabyte Winchester drive. Speculation/Strategies The IBM-PCjr was discontinued early this year, as the company faced difficulties in penetrating the home market. The much rumored "PC2" machine, which was supposed to be introduced this year, has now been officially "delayed" by the company. We believe downward pricing pressures and the ever-narrowing performance differences between the ( IT and AT models (caused primarily by sophisticated IT applications software) was the cause of this move. It is also believed that many potential buyers were in a "wait and see" position, impacting sales of both IT and AT models. The PC2 was speculated to be positioned between the IT an~ AT in terms of capabilities, but it makes more sense for the company to bridge the gap between the AT and the System 36. Such a machine, expected to be introduced in late 1986, will likely use the Intel 80386 32-Bit m1crprocessor. Although all machines in the series have been designed to be compatible, many applications programs are specific on the model of machine that the package will run. Most incompatability problems occur between PC's manufacturered by IBM versus "clones" or ( IBMPC-5 (9 Peripheral Concepts hardware/software compatible units. A ROM, present in all machines, called the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a key element which ties the operating system to I/O devices. 100% compatibility can only occur if this ROM is duplicated exactly within the "clone". Since this level of duplication results in copyright infringement, no compatible machine is fully IBM-PC compatible. The intent of the BIOS ROM was to give the system a "generic" I/O driver capability, and it does. But many applications programs bypass the standard entry points of the BIOS for improved speed and performance, accessing internal BIOS routines directly. Market Overview The total market for IBM-PC peripheral controllers is currently larger ( than any other segment of the industry, generating over $188 Million in revenues for calendar 1984. A significant portion of the market is attributed to IBM purchases. The company buys 100% of their controller needs from OEM suppliers. The two main suppliers, Xebec Corporation for the XT program and Western Digi~al for the AT, represent over 80% share of the 1984 market. If IBM takes PC manufacturing captive in the future, these suppliers will still enjoy significant sales of custom and semi-custom chips used on the products. Most of the activity in OEM controller products continues to be the conversion of PC to XT via after-market controller and drive. In the case of the AT, every machine shipped by IBM, regardless if it comes with a winchester disk drive or not, contains a winchester controller. ( o IBMPC-6 Peripheral Concepts ( Adding a winchester drive and changing the driver ROM will activate the rigid disk portion of this multifunction controller. Although voiding the warranty, this is the most inexpensive way to upgrade a floppy-only AT machine, and this is now occuring at some dealer~distribution points. The after-market for AT winchester controllers is a questionable one. The add-on controller will have to provide something unique that the factory version does not provide, such as a higher performance interf~ce (i.e., ESDI or SMD) or greatly improved performance. ( ( IBMPC-7 o Peripheral Concepts -- .. _------------ l Product Definition Products and forecasts within this category refer to board-level controllers which plug directly into an IBM-PC, IT, or AT bus and support a variety of storage peripherals. During calendar year 1984, there were 8 OEM manufacturers shipping 32 different products. Examples of products and manufacturers in this group are: ( Adaptec, Inc.

Heavy price erosion in the winchester-only segment (averaging 8-12% annually c through 1988) will result in a slight decline in revenues, though unit shipments will moderately increase. From 1984 to 1985, an annual negative growth rate of -10.8% revenues, -2.9% units is expected. Multifunction products show the strongest growth rate, with a compound annual rate of revenues at 29.8% and a corresponding 37.9% in unit shipments. Combination Wincheste~/Tape and new·multifunction controllers, including those for optical disk drives, will be responsible for this growth. Captive controllers, or those boards shipped by controller manufacturers in subsystems, shows a large unit growth of 71.3% compounded annually. But this market will remain relatively small, as 1988 unit shipments will be slightly less than 49,000 units, with an "if-sold" value of $6.3 Million. Independent ( IBMPC-9 o Peripheral Concepts subsystems manufacturers will continue to control the lion's share of the subsystems market. Clearly, IBM is the largest customer for these products. In 1984, IBM accounted for over 81% of sales, or $153.25 Million. Heavy purchases of AT'controller boards in calendar 1985 increased revenues to $172.5 Million, but IBM's absolute share of 1985's revenues declined slightly by 1.4% to 79.8%, giving way to the rest of the OEM market which grew 18.3% from 1984 to 1985. With one customer controlling such a large portion of the market, that customer's buying habits will substantially affect and set the trends for the remaining segments. We believe that IBM has "overbought" XT and AT controller products in 1984-1985. Our estimates show that the C company's purchases for 1985 will be approximately 1,245,000 controllers. Optimistic projections for IBM computer shipments in the IT and AT product lines have been reported i~ the 700,000 to 800,000 range. We believe this excess inventory will be adjusted in 1986, resulting in a -4.5% revenue decline, or $164.6 Million in revenues • • will be in production, resulting But by 1987, the successor to the AT in a 1987 increase of 5.1% or $173.1 Million, just slightly higher than the 1985 projection. Captive production of the original PC as well as the XT will occur at this time, keeping overall revenue growth at a modest increase. The OEM or "non-IBM" market share will remain fairly constant over the next several years. As IBM introduces new models to the PC line, the ( IBMPC-10 ( ) Peripheral Concepts (_ !mand for after-market controllers will continue at a relative pace, regardless if the new machines are backward-compatible or not. From 1985 through 1988, market shares will remain at an average 30% OEM! 70% IBM. The growth in "plug-and-play" or end-user installed subsystems will fuel this growth, as OEM controller manufacturers continue to ship product to the true add-on manufacturers. ( ( IBMPC-11 o Peripheral Concepts Key Assumptions l o IBM will continue to be the largest OEM customer, purchasing approximately 70% of the industry's output. o Multifunction controllers will experience the strongest growth over the next three years. o IBM has "overbought" IT/AT controllers in 1985, which will result in a revenue decline during 1986 and early 1987. o The next generation machine in the PC product line will be introduced in late 1986.

But being "general purpose" means that different makes and models of computers must interface to SCSI via a specific piece of hardware and software. That interface equipment is called a host adapter. The role of the host adapter has been a confusing one. Host adapters for SCSI have been around as long form of SASI and XSASI a~ SCSI itself, specifically, in the implementations~ These early models were used to interface a SASI winchester controller to a host bus, and typically (.~ame with some software to "patch" the computers' operating system or install appropriate software driver routines. The hardware portion of the adapter provided nothing more than an electrical conversion from SASI to the host-specific bus. As SASI has evolved to the higher performance SCSI, host adapters are also evolving to playa more significant role in the performance of the entire subsystem. ·In fact, SCSI does not seem to be limited to "small systems". The 1.5 Megabyte/second transfer rate (4.0 Megabytes/sec. in synchronous mode) is more than adequate for today's supermicros and some minicomputers. There are SCSI host adapters. now available for the Qbus, Unibus, VMEbus, and soon, Multibus II.

For example, some winchester disk controllers for the IBM-PC currently sell for less than $200, approximately the same price as some SCSI winchester controllers. When the cost of the host adapter is added, the total system price is higher when using SCSI. But the configuration that is achieved is nothing more than an interface for a winchester disk drive. This is neither the goal of the host adapter or the concept of SCSI. A system that contains an SCSI host adapter will have access to more than just winchesters. Other I/O devices such as communications channels, printers, optical disks, graphics devices, etc., will soon (~ ~ available with SCSI. The cost of the host adapter can then be amortized over many peripherals. The host ~dapter can also solve another growing problem concerning those systems that are repackaged with "value-added" to vertical markets. Additional memory cards and I/O functions used by these systems often result in a shortage of slots or backplane access. These systems can benefit from using an SCSI host adapter by allowing multiple I/O capabilities through the use of only one backplane slot. Additional benefits can also be realized by minimizing software development; allowing the same I/O driver routines to access a wide variety of peripherals. ( HOST-2 Q Peripheral Concepts (';'f! market for host adapters has also been recognized by the semiconductor suppliers. Several merchant-market chip suppliers have recently added SCSI protocol devices to their product lines. An Interim Market? One of the most significant events that has happened in the SCSI market over the past year is the introduction of SCSI-based peripherals. Winchester disk and streaming tape suppliers are readying new stora~e products which will have an SCSI interface directly on the 4rive. If these products are sold on an OEM basis to computer manufacturers, then the computer makers will have to include an SCSI port or I/O connector to support this method of connecting peripherals. Such a scenario would eliminate the need for host ~~aPters, as the OEM would be providing that function as part of every system. The widespread acceptance of SCSI by the major computer manufacturers is an unlikely event. Although we believe that one or possibly two suppliers of microcomputers will adopt SCSI in the near term, the major player IBM, will not. In the supermicro area, th~ Mu1tibus interface is driven by a flourishing add-on market from many, many suppliers. There are no dominant market leaders as is the case of IBM in the microcomputer segment. The upcom~ng Mu1tibus II and especially, the VMEbus will also follow the same structure. HOST-3 ( ) Peripheral Concepts ..- ( - - -..~- ~.,",,-,,~. - --.",.'--....... • . . . ~ .... .-,tI .-h; __ at· err we , . ft. '*t2#r In the minicomputer area, Digital Equipment is the primary supplier, but the hardware and software after-market for DEC systems is almost as big as the DEC market itself. Although SCSI already exists for this segment to a limited extent, it is unlikely that the SCSI host adapter market will develop significantly for DEC-compatible systems. The clearly defined Qbus and Unibus now enjoys a large variety of dedicated peripherals, controllers, and I/O accessories. Significant performance degradation occurs when SCSI is inserted in the chain between the disk drive and a device emulating controller. The emergence of SCSI-based peripherals will fuel the host adapter ~arket, not supress it. This growth will also change the product mix from lower performance host adapters to higher performance products. C_~evels of Support The level of support or amount of intelligenc~/performance that a host adapter can provide varies over a wide range. The most basic types of host adapters provide little more than an electrical conversion from the host bus to the SCSI bus. But this lower level of support may be adequate for many single-user systems tied to only one or two peripherals. It is expected that these products will constitute a smaller percentage of the future shipments of host adapters. As higher performance SCSI controllers and disk drives enter production, higher performance host adapters will quickly displace these products. Host adapters which support multi-user or concurrent operations will be those most likely to capture the majority of market share. ( Q Peripheral Concepts HOST-4 Host adapters which provide multi-tasking capabilities on single-user <-!stems will enjoy a larger market than those for multi-user systems. Even the low-end microcomputer systems, such as the IBM-PC, are being aimed at low-end CAD/CAM and other applications requiring fast access to mass storage. Although IBM-PC systems used in a less-specific environment may see some host adapter activity, the use of SCSI on these systems will be limited to the niche markets of system integrators and value-added resellers. But the sheer size of the IBM-PC market makes even this "niche" a substantial piece of business. HOST-5 o Peripheral Concepts Product Definition l Products and forecasts within this group refer to board-level products which adapt the SASI/SCSI interface to a variety of computer busses. These products plug directly into the backplane slot of the host bus, providing one or more SASI/SCSI ports for connection to internal and external devices.

Host adapter revenues for 'the microcomputer sector (IBM-PC, Apple II, S-100, and others) will produce a compound growth of 72.6% in revenues for the 1984-1988 period, while the minicomputer sector (Unibus, Qbus, VMEbus, Multibus ( 1-11, and others) will experience a.6l.9% compound growth in revenues. In both the microcomputer and minicomputer sectors, the overall host adapter market is relatively new, as, is the products they supportBasic SCSI and Full SCSI controllers and peripherals. There are currently over 25 ~anufacturers producing custom, OEM, and captive • versions of host adapters for many different systems (the Product Matrix section li~ts of the potential host most of the OEM suppliers and products). But much adapt~r business remains captive, as most computer OEM's currently design and build their own adapters. Host adapters also represent the widest variance in average selling prices, from the $60-$90 range to over $1,200, depending upon performance and host bus. ( HOST-7 o Peripheral Concepts The two strongest growth areas are the lBM-PC and the VMEbus. Host l adapter revenues for the IBM-PC will grow an estimated 40.8% from 1984 to 1985, jumping to 114.7% from 1985 through 1986. Much of this growth is attributed to new evaluations/qualifications of SCSI disk drives in 1986, as well as the true systems integrators and VAR's who will begin to purchase both SCSI peripherals and high performance host adapters. The growth from 1986 through 1987 will decline slightly to 99.7%, but remain at this strong rate as new peripherals (in particular, optical disk drives) and other SCSI devices begin to enter production. Semiconductor suppliers will also enjoy a portion of these revenues, as many OEM's will begin to use SCSI protocol chips and purchase board-level products from third party suppliers. The opposite situation exists in today's market, where most OEM's ( iesign and manufacture their own host adapters. This structure will change as more choices of products with varying performance levels become available, and in particular" the SCSI specification options and sub-sets begin to mature through de facto methods. By 1988, IBM-PC host adapters will account for $27.42 , Million in revenues out of the $30.4 Million for this market. Other sectors within the microcomputer market, particularly S-100 and the Apple II, will continue to playa declining role in this mark~t. The S-100 will decline at a -47.6% compounded growth, as shipments of S-100 systems decline rapidly over the next several years. The Apple II series has had some activity with the older SASI host adapters, primarily in external subsystem support. But system integrators are no longer using the II-Plus or lIe machines o HOST-8 Peripheral Concepts ~~r vertical markets in favor of the IBM-PC. Most host adapters shipped in 1985 were done captively or in other words, within a disk drive subsystem. This trend will all but eliminate the OEM market -for Apple host adapters within the next two years, though there will still be a small end-user demand. The VMEbus will be particularly strong for SCSI. The VME controller market is currently fragmented among many suppliers, mostly "full-line" VME companies that also provide systems, SBC's, and other board-level products. The lack of product selection in SMD or ST506 controller products will fuel the short term growth. From 1985 through 1987, VMEbus host adapters will grow an average of 85.5% annually. Even after the establishment of controller products, the wide selection of SCSI peripherals will help contribute to a strong (~ompound annual growth rate of 114.0% from 1984 through 1988. Key Assumptions o SCSI-based peripherals will become a strong market, fueling the growth of SCSI host adapters. o The demand for intelligent multi~tasking host adapters will increase, displacing the older SASI-type adapters. o The rapid growth of the VMEbus market, coupled with the lack of VME peripheral controllers, will increase the growth of VME-based host adapters. o The growing use of IBM-PC's by system and vertical market integrators, will boost the acceptance of SCSI for these machines.

This new peripheral, with its serial-encoded data and unique motor control signals, required a controller with well over a hundred SSI (Small Scale Integration) devices. The cost of these early controllers equalled that of the disk drive. By the Mid-70's, the a-inch Floppy was being manufactured by several c companies for OEM distribution, expanding well beyond the traditional IBM plug-compatible business. Floppy drives became the primary storage device on other minicomputers, but also penetrated the emerging microcomputer market as well. As volume shipments of these drives began to occur, semiconductor manufacturers could justify the high development costs of dedicated, custom LSI circuits. Pioneering this field was Western Digital Corporation who, in 1976, began sampling the first LSI floppy disk controller, the FD1771. This device was the first of its kind to control both the data serialization/ de-serialization and motor control functions. Today, virtually all floppy disk controller designs are based around one of the many LgI controllers commonly available. ( SEMI-1 ,,- ~'~-.' o LLQ--w-_. . ._--,_.. , .__" ., -,.. . ,. . ".'. . . . ...... -"""I''''''_ _'_I. -~..,.-~. ~:!fI"""' ..• - Peripheral Concepts ~ . . . . , ........ '"'' • , From its beginnings in the floppy market, semiconductor controllers have kept pace with the changes in the mass storage periphera~ markets. Devices for winchester disks and streaming tape drives are now commonplace. But the continuous evolvement of winchester tech~ology has segmented winchester chip products into various forms. Depending upon application, choices must be made between the "single-chip" or "chip-set" configurations. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. The s~reaming tape market has been dominated by the 1/4 inch cartridge products. The emerging 1/2 inch market will surely have an impact on the future of LSI devices for tapes. But regardless of the form factor or interface specifics, semiconductor controller trends are clearly divided among floppy, winchester, and tape products. (, Floppy Disk Controllers The floppy disk co~troller chip has truly become a semiconductor commodity. Virtually all types and price ranges of computers, from home systems to minicomputers, are now shipped with a floppy disk drive as the standard configuration. These computer OEM's either place the floppy disk control logic directly on the motherboard, or include it on an auxiliary board with another peripheral controller, such as a winchester. The amount of "glue" logic or extra circuitry needed to ~upport an LSI floppy controller has decreased significantly over the past two years. o SEMI-2 Peripheral Concepts' • ! I Functions such as data separation, write precompensation, and DMA l (Direct Memory Access) are now common features of today's controllers. ManY,manufacturers offer support chips for use with older generation products, which further reduces the need for SSI-based support logic. The only remaining circuitry commonly implemented in discrete form are the I/O buffers and the host interface logic. Both of these functions will likely appear in new LSI controller products (and also as enhancements to existing products) within the next two years. The high-current, I/O buffer function can easily be handled with today's CMOS processes, and the standardization of low-end computer busses (i.e., IBM, SCSI, 80186, M68000, etc.) are now mature enough to dedicate much of this logic to silicon. ~ The popular configuration of combination winchester/floppy storage on I ( today's computers has spurred the development of some "combo" winchester/floppy controller chips. Although these devices appear to satisfy a majority application, their acceptance so far has been poor, and will continue to be so in the near term. A certain amount of flexibility is usually . at sacrifice~ the desigri-level when combining these functions. Products that have been previewed so far, require additional logic to "split" the signal lines for the two peripherals. Some do not allow concurrent operations, and others still require external logic, such as individual data separators. And like all new semiconductors, pricing is before the erosion curve, resulting in a higher selling price than the combined price of separate winchester and floppy controller chips. Today, about lout of every 5 SEMI-3 o Peripheral c~ncepts microcomputers are shipped with both winchester and floppy. This ( indicates that the market still prefers the "add-on" approach to higher capacities, limiting the existing market for such a device. It is likely that the "next generation" LSI floppy controller will not occur for several years. Many start-up companies have attempted to introduce high capacity floppy drives (3-10 Megabytes), but backward compatability issues, the use of special media, pre-formatting requirements, etc., has left the floppy market stalled at the 96 TPI level. There is little room for innovation in either drive or controller products. And with current 'floppy drive prices below $75 in many circumstances, this situation will not change in the near future. Until volume shipments of high capacity floppy drives occur, there is no incentive (and high risk) for a semiconductor supplier to invest C LSI development dollars in new products. Likewise, existing controllers are adequate for today's products, including the newer 3-1/2 inch drives. Winchester Controllers Despite its similarities, the LSI winchester controller market is structured differently than the floppy market. For one thing, the "single-chip" winchester controllers that are now available are not intended as replacements for board-level winchester controllers. In fact, just the opposite is occuring. In many instances, LSI devices are developed exclusively for use on a winchester controller board. o SEMI-4 Peripheral Concepts The tSI winchester controller market can be divided into three classes t of products. Although there is some overlap, these classes really define the marketing strategies and customer base for the various types of chips. CHIP-SET CONTROLLERS- This product class typically consists of two to five devices. Each device performs a separate disk control function such as encode/decode, error correction, SERDES, etc. Chip-sets are now being called ASIC's (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), a term which has become popular in recent months. Manufacturers of chip sets usually produce board-level controllers as the main product line, using the chips on their own designs. Besides this captive use, some chip sets are sold to customers who buy the .manufacturing r l rights of one or more board products. Depending .upon the terms of the agreement, the buyer may manufacture all or part of his total consumption and in essenc~, becomes his own "second-source". Since many chip sets have been originally designed for use in a particular board-level controller, there is a tremendous difference in compatibility of chip sets from one controller supplier to the next. Not only are there incompatibilities in terms of pin-outs, but different partitioning results in completely different functionalities. These "hardware-specific" chips are often difficult to sellon a typical OEM basis. SEMI-S o Peripheral Concepts SINGLE-CHIP CONTROLLERS- This product class includes devices normally having 40 or more pins which perform functions of motor control, data encoding/decoding, and sometimes error correction. They utilize a set of high-level commands similar to that of a microprocessor. In fact, many are just dedicated ROM versions of microprocessors. Single-chip winchester controllers are also generic. That is, they have not been designed to work with any particular hardware configuration. They may be used on a captive basiS, but single-chip controller makers are typically merchant-market semiconductor manufacturers. Computer OEM's purchase single-chip controllers for use on an in-house disk controller design, just as they purchase microprocessors or other integrated circuits. ~ SUPPORT CHIPS- These devices are similar to floppy disk controller support chips, in that they are designed to be used with the manufacturers' single-chip' controller. Their purpose is to reduce the amount of glue logic around the main controller chip. They too are sold on an OEM basis, and many controller manufacturers have "chip-set" pricing structures for the OEM . who buys both single chip and support chips for a particular design. Single-Chip vs Chip-Sets Single-chip controllers are not meant as a replacement for chip sets. Both classes of products have a place in the market and satify o SEMI-6 Peripheral Concepts different applications. The key advantage of chip sets is flexibility \ '-- in design. A new interface or a custom controller may only require replacing/modifying one device in the set, or simply firmware changes on the board. Single-chip controllers have far less flexibility. Even a moderate change can result in long development time and extensive layout changes. But these devices represent the lowest cost implementation. Obviously, they are designed to work with the more established winchester interfaces, such as the STS06/412. During the past year, many microprocessor suppliers have announced single-chip winchester controllers. The common approach to marketing these devices is to include them as a "family component" or as a ( support device for a particular microprocessor. These family components typically include chips to perform DMA functions, Parallel or serial I/O, MMU (Memory Management Unit), and RAM/ROM. If their price/performance is competitive, many systems designers will choose the microprocessor supplier. The average OEM typically buys many \ support devices from their primary microprocessor supplier. The OEM will likely be able to negoti~te better pricing from an existing supplier. There is also a better chance of having a viable second-source for the chips, since most microprocessor suppliers must provide second-sources in this highly competitive market. All of these factors will place strong competition on OEM chips from the independent winchester controller manufacturer. SEMI-7 o Peripheral Concepts The major chip-set suppliers will probably be the board manufacturing t companies for ~~e next several years. Many of these suppliers do not "- have distribution channels or staffing to support OEM semiconductor sales. The market for support devices is limited. Almost all support devices sold today provide functions that will later be incorporated into a future version of the single-chip they support. Most suppliers (and their customers) view these devices as an interim product. All single-chip controllers rely heavily upon mature, stable - peripherals in particular, their interface specifications. At an average R&D expenditure of $400-8001 and two years development time, the single-chip developer cannot rely on pure speculation in new product plans. However, the long lead time to product implies prudent C forecasting of changing market conditions for at least 18-36 months out. Fortunately for the chip maker, the ST506 interface has remained as the major interface of choice for the"last several years. Most suppliers do not see this changing in the near future. New winchester controller devices will likely be limited to enhancements of existing • products in the near future. Additional functions to existing designs such as data separation, low~power CMOS versions, and integral sector buffering are the key technical areas being explored. ( o SEMI-8 Peripheral Concepts -------------"'--- -~---- -._-_. _... -- ( ,ape Controllers Semiconductor devices for streaming tape control have been limited to the chip-set confi.uration. These chip sets support either the QIC-36 or QIC-02 standards, and are primarily used on multifunction winchester/tape board controllers. The volume shipments to date for streaming tape drives have not been adequate'to justify the development of single-chip controllers. However, expect some product announcement activity within the next six months. Many manufacturers believe that the availability of single-chip tape controllers will greatly influence the growth and size of the market. Another factor which will affect market growth is the capacity of winchester disk drives. The majority of single-user systems today (and (the bulk of drive shipments) are at the 20 Megabyte level or less. As this 20 Megabyte standard shifts to 50 Megabytes and beyond, using floppies for back-up purposes betomes impractical, even on a file-by-file basis. Future single-chip tape controllers may include multifunction capabilities, combin~ng , winchester and tape, as well as versions that are software and/or hardware compatible to their winchester counterparts. SEMI-9 ( ) Peripheral Concepts Product Definition ( Products and forecasts within this group refer to semiconductor devices used to control floppy, winchester, and tape drives, and are sold to OEMs either as standard products or through custom contracts.

Unit shipments will grow slightly faster for the same period due to moderate price erosions; 1.80 Million units for 1985 versus 1.46 Million for 1984 .• (~owever, many new product announcements during 1985 (especially from traditional semiconductor manufacturers), will actually increase the industry's overall ASP (Average Selling Price) by approximately 2.1%. As these new products enter volume production, normal price erosions will begin to occur again during 1987, yielding a -13.9% decline in • overall ASP. For the same period, unit growth will reach 3.51 Million units (up 39.8% from 1986 levels), generating revenues of $74.14 Million. Finally, estimates show the winchester semiconductor market to reach close to 5 Million units or $81.17 Million in 1988, continuing at an average 35-39% year-to-year growth rate. Semiconductor floppy controllers present a different scenario. The mature floppy controller market (dominated by the NEC765A and ( SEMI-II o Peripheral Concepts I I I compatibles), has reached 1984 levels of 8.87 Million units, growing II at 26.2% from 1984 to 1985, to 11.19 Million in shipments for calendar I ' II ! <.. 1985.

' i only a 5-7% annual erosion for the coming years, compared to the 20-25% peak experienced in 1983. Compound annual growth rate from 1984 through 1988 is estimated at 16.3% in units, 11.5% in revenues. A rather slow growth when compared to the winchester segment. Nevertheless, absolute unit shipments far exceed all other segments, with an estimated 16.24 Million units being shipped in 1988, generating $86.88 Million. ma CAPTIVE DOE" 7999 ...............,........................................................................ .

That is, they were ( SEMI-12 o Peri'p~eral Concepts ~. , ~- .~." ............. - .. -.~ -. included on board-level products shipped by board-level controller ~ manufacturers. By 1988, it is estimated that captive consumption will drop to 47% of the total market. By this time period, many LSI devices will also rival the capabilities of today's lower-performance board products. Coupled with the declining prices of winchester drives, this peripheral will likely move into the basic configuration of many systems. But the majority of this shift is caused by a supplier mix to semiconductor-only manufacturers. Microprocessor-specific winchester controllers, especially those designed to interface to ST506 and ESDI, will constitute the majority of winchester controller chips by 1988. ( SEMI-13 o Peripheral Concepts #Il"'~ Key Assumptions o OEM semiconductor manufacturers will enter the winchester market during 1985-86, contributing to strong market growth in Mid-86. o Existing LSI floppy controller products will be adequate for most designs, slowing the need for next generation products. o By the end of 1987, OEM consumption will surpass captive consumption of winchester controllers. o Winchester capacities beyond 20 Megabytes will fuel the need for LSI tape controllers and multifunction (winchester/tape) devices.

IMBEDDED DISI CONTROLLERS Introduction Since the development of the first disk drives, the functions of the controller or formatter have been treated as a separate entity. Probably most responsible for this way of thinking was the original organizational lines at IBM. A separate peripheral division developed the disk drives, while another developed controllers and formatters for specific systems. Control Data Corporations' 1968 introduction of the SMD interface further promoted this separation. By providing this new peripheral interface, system manufacturers could use the disk drive as a" building block to create a variety of mass storage systems for different computer requirements. Each new generation of a machine ( always requires some "customization" of the mass storage system; that customization was and is still done on the controller, not the disk drive interface. In the minicomputer sector, Digital Equipment's unique disk drives (and controllers) used on Unibus machines opened up a whole new market for add-on companies specializing in controllers. By designing Unibus controllers that worked with the general purpose SMD interface, a lower-cost, high performance alternative was offered to the end-user. Hence, the add-on controller market was born. Today, a separate controller/formatter is still the dominant way to partition a mass storage system. But many companies are beginning to IMBEDDED-1 o Peripheral Concepts II ! I I look at a "merger" of the controller and disk drive within the same product. The controllers used in .. this new concept are being called "imbedded". Imbedding the controller within the disk drive is not a new concept. During the mid-70's, when the eight-inch floppy disk drive was in full swing, intelligent floppy drives were introduced by Remex-Excello Corporation and Innovex (both companies have long since left the floppy drive business). These products were never too successful, but the lack of an intelligent interface standard at the time may be responsible for their premature death. The coming wave of LSI devices also contributed to their demise, as the component count and board space of the entire floppy controller was quickly reduced to 3 or 4 square inches and less than 5 chips. Since that time, no other ( attempts were tried to add an intelligent interface or imbedded controller within a floppy disk drive for the OEM market. A different situation than that of the floppy exists with winchester and tape peripherals. There is no dedicated LSI devic~s to control these peripherals, at least not at the level of integration that the floppy disk drive now enjoys. Capacities, transfer rates, and all of the parameters that affect a "locked in silicon" winchester controller are changing, so it is likely that total LSI support comparable to the floppy will not occur for a number of years on "non-STS06" controllers. o IMBEDDED-2 Peripheral Concepts -,[ ~he !d for Imbedding ?here are now several choices of intelligent, general-purpose .nterfaces available today (such as SCSI and IPI-3). The overwhelming ldvantage of using these interfaces within the disk drive is that they 'isolate" the computer from the intricacies of the peripheral. )isk drive performance is changing for the better, but interfaces must :emain stagnant. The need for imbedding is being driven by the lncreasing capacities of winchester disk drives. The quality of the . media used in these drives is not increasing proportionately to :apacity. As a result, the flawed areas or "bad spots" on the disk's 3urface increase in both frequency and size. Although a combined !ffort of the controller and host I/O firmware handles these bad spots todr{ at some point in time they will become unmanageable. A nulti-user environment, for example, leaves little time for the CPU or controller to both manage and search the disk for alternate sectors/tracks. By imbedding the controller with the drive electronics, more internal management of these flawed spots can be • realized, improving overall system performance. The static nature of peripheral interfaces is a detriment to higher transfer rate, higher capacity winchesters. It is unlikely that an existing system manufacturer would specify/purchase any drive that contains a unique device-level interface, regardless of its performance or capacity improvements. With an imbedded controller, the true device-level interface is "buried" in the disk drive and may be IMBEDDED-3 ( ) Peripheral Concepts .....' totally unique, since the system designer neither uses it nor cares how it is structured. In additi~n, complete changes ~n technology, such as a transition from magnetic to optical disk drives, can be made smoothly with an intelligent interface on the drive (providing both the "old" and the "new" interfaces are the same). Imbedded controllers can "hide" these physical characteristics of the technology used. There are definite cost advantages to be gained from imbedding. Since flaw management becomes an internal function of the drive, a lower-grade media can be used. This is one of the major cost components in a winchester drive. A similar move could also be applied I to the recording heads. The life span of existing, lower cost I technologies (such as ferrite heads and oxide media) may well be I I \ expanded as a result of imbedding. I ( The manufacturing cost of the combined controller/drive should be less I than the cost of separate units. I M~ny duplicate components such as microprocessors, ROM and RAM, drivers/receivers, etc., can be shared by both drive control and formatter electronics, resulting in less \ printed-circuit board "real estate", fewer components, and lower power consumption. The possibilites of imbedded controller configurations are many. The higher-volume computer systems, such as the IBM-PC and compatibles, have the potential to eliminate the intelligent I/O bus altogether. It is certainly possible to develop a drive bus that in actuality, is the backplane bus of the target system. All that would be needed is a o IMBEDDED-4 Peripheral Concepts ~ ~ - ____ , ~ . _ . . t . , , _ ' ....... _ ~ ...._:..- " ',",,_ " ~ _ ' ,,_ .• __ ·• _ _ _" " ' ._ _ d _ _ _ _ _ _. . . . . . . . . . . cable between the disk drive and one of the slots in the backplane. On .. smaller diameter winchesters, it may even be possible to plug the drive directly into a backplane slot with appropriate hardware. But there are also disadvantages in offering a combined controller and disk drive. The primary one is cost. Even if the price of the combined unit is equal to that of its separate counterparts, replacing a host-specific controller board will create the need for a host adapter. The controller board may have moved into the drive, but the backplane slot is now occupied by the host adapter. Another problem is multiple drives. Although very few systems use more than one fixed drive today, there are a number of computers with one-fixed/ one-removable configurations. Each drive is likely to have its own imbedded controller, increasing the total system cost. A possible ( solution may be a device-level port, such as ST506 or SMD, feeding a second drive from the intelligent primary drive. But this will bring back some of the cost in components (such as drivers/receivers) which were eliminated by imbedding. Many alternate sources exist for mature. device-level drives (e.g •• ST506/412, SMD) as well as controller boards. The OEM equates this to more competitive pricing, easy procurement, and fast reponse when demand changes. It is unlikely that a combination controller/drive will have many second-sources, even at the functional level. There are no standards for intelligent drives and even if, say, SCSI was chosen, the actual command and hardware options implemented by each manufacturer would vary considerably. IMBEDDED-5 Q Peripheral Concepts Custom modifications of a standard controller product, in order to l meet a specific customer's needs, is in common practice today. Many of these changes require both firmware and hardware changes. Modifying an imbedded controller will be prohibitively expensive, sinc~ much of the logic is shared by the drive electronics. There is also less available space in the shared ROM/RAM to implement new functions and features. Market Structure Analysis Market entry into intelligent disk drives require developing a dual expertise in both drive and controller technology. The potential manufacturer must have electrical and mechanical skills to build the drive itself, while the controller portion will require operating systems knowledge, analog/data separator engineering, and error ( correction/file management expertise. For these reasons, the first imbedded products are the result of joint product developments between drive and controller manufactttrerw It is likely that custom or semi-custom controller components will have to be developed to meet physical space requirements and new functionaL characteristics not l normally done within today's controller chips. The first imbedded products will however, use existing controller chips. Obviously, this is "not the lowest cost/lowest component count method to imbedding, but it does allow the development of entry-level products. o IMBEDDED-6 Peripheral Concepts it In the short term, the imbedded market will be a "chip business". Drive manufacturers.wi11 purchase standard and/or custom chips from controller suppliers (unless of course, the controller supplier is also in the disk business) and incorporate them into drive designs. Another distribution channel in the future may be the large OEM who purchases "mechanism-only" winchesters and does the electronics design himself using various controller chips. Indeed, this would be an ambitious effort, since it implies that the OEM will have in-house drive and controller expertise. Any OEM who can afford this level of engineering and manufacturing overhead probably has the clout to establish their own standards anyway, and would have no incentive to use these products. The uniqueness of the peripheral manufacturers' drive electronics ( (especially in the servo area) and the physical size differences of the drive electronics board from one manufacturer to the next, will prohibit the creation of any intelligent drive and controller board combination for the OEM market. In addition, mechanism-only winchesters are not normally available as standard products from l winchester suppliers (although they can be had on a custom basis). It is also unlikely that a arive manufacturer will purchase boards from the controller supplier, containing his drive electronics design and the added controller circuitry. Almost all drive vendors have captive PC manufacturing facilities here and abroad, now producing drive electronics boards for existing winchesters. The only difference (from IMBEDDED-7 r o Peripheral Concepts a mariufacturing standpoint) would be added component count. Hardly a reason to "farm-out" the new board product. The future suppliers of imbedded controller chips will most likely be those manufacturers who now produce board-level controllers. Many of the chips used captively on these boards can be modified and/or augmented to produce the new functions. As the imbedded market begins to develop, board-level controllers will not go away. In fact, as the traditional functions considered "the job of the controller" move into the disk drive, a new generation of controllers will emerge for use with these intelligent drives. Product Definition Forecasts within this group refer to semiconductor products designed to be used within winchester and tape drives of various form factors. During calendar 1984, there were no OEM p~oducts being sold specifically for this purpose. During 1985, several controller manufacturers began to sell traditional controller chips for use within disk drives including Nat~onal Semiconductor, Scientific Micro . Systems, and NCR Corporation • o IMBEDDED-8 Peripheral Concepts c'farket Trends to Peripheral Concepts estimates the total imbedded controller market be: 1984 SHIPMENTS 1985 1986 1987 1988 19.81 71.71 290.91 817.61 9371 3,4251 12,9101 33,1801 REVENUES(IF SOLD)$ Shipments for this market have begun in 1985, as existing winchester controller chips are beginning to find their way into some disk drive products. Compound annual growth rate of shipments for 1985 through 1988 is expected to be 245.4% which represents a strong growth rate, but typical of a new market. Winchester shipments will grow faster ( than imbedded tape controller shipments, with levels approximately ten times higher. Estimates for 1986 winchester projections are 63.871 units and tapes at 7.851 units. The valuation of revenues are on an "if-sold" basis. Many different configurations will require a different number of chips per drive, as • well as some custom drive devices, especially in 1986 and 1987 when new circuits become available~ The average selling price for the industry in 1985 is estimated at $47.00 per unit (a "unit" being an average one or more chips in a set), dropping to $40.20 by 1988. If-sold revenues from 1984 to 1988 will grow at a compound annual rate of 228.4%, or slightly less than units due to this moderate price erosion. It is expected that price erosions will not be more IMBEDDED-9 r o Peripheral Concepts significant than stated, since this new market will see many new chips ( targeted specifically for drives. In fact, only 5-6% of the 1986 shipments will constitute unique chips designed especially fo~ drive imbedding, while the remaining 94-95% of the shipments will be "standard" chips currently used on winchester controller boards. By 198a, high performance devices specific for drive-imbedded applications will constitute 33.5% of shipments, or 543,000 units. Over the 4-year forecast period (1985-1988), it is expected that the SCSI interface will account for over 96% of all imbedded controller types. ley Assumptions o Most of the imbedded controller market will be a "chip" market, as drive manufacturers will purchase devices for captive board manufacturing. o In the short term, most imbedded controller devices will be existing semiconductors now used on bo~rd-level controllers. o Over 96% of all imbedded controllers will use the SCSI interface. o Imbedded controllers for tape drives will grow at a similar rate to winchesters, but unit volumes,will be significantly less. o Imbedded controllers will displace the lower-performance SASI board-level controller m~rket.

Although most current controller products ~re listed, those which are being phased-out of production have been omitted. Likewise, products in which the individual manufacturer could not supply OEM pricing have not been included since these products are too new for reliable availability data or are simply not sold on an OEM basis. The product data presented here has been compiled from manufacturers specifications and/or phone inquiry to personnel at each company. We have c6ecked all data for accuracy. Inevitably, omissions and/or errors occur, so please contact us so we may correct them prior to the next edition. ( Products in this section are classified as either Winchester-only, Tape-only, Floppy-only, or Multifunction. Form factors of the drives they support (i.e., 5-1/4 inch) are based upon the physical size of the controller product or the interface type it supports. Drive Characteristics: The type of interface, maximum number of drives, sector sizes, and error correction methods are listed. Host Characteristics: The level of SCSI, size of the RAM buffer resident on the product, SCSI transfer rate, and minimum interleave factors are inclu~ed. In the case of the level of SCSI, products have been categorized as XSASI-compatible, Single-Initiator (Basic SCSI without arbitration), or Reconnect-Disconnect (Full SCSI or Arbitration supported). Keep in mind that this is a classification, not a performance measurement. For example, it is possible for a Basic SCSI controller to outperform a reconnect/disconnect one, depending upon the performance specifications measured. Physical Characteristics: Physical dimensions of the board and power requirements are included. Availablility/Price: Current availablility as of August, 1985 and the OEM list price are provided.
