Abstract
This chapter focuses on Adaptec and its LAN interface unit, called Nodem. Adaptec is a leading supplier of high-performance input/output solutions. Its products include proprietary VLSI circuits, a broad line of personal computer- and small computer system interface(SCSI) -based controller and host adapter boards, and a family of SCSI test and development systems. It is Adaptec's belief that the current workplace is thirsty for connectivity. While a variety of networking products exists, Adaptec says there are conspicuous gaps in the universe of microcomputer connections. To help meet this need, Adaptec has introduced Nodem, a LAN interface unit said to take full advantage of the device-independent SCSI. Nodem is a small, external box that will connect SCSI-based microcomputers and peripherals to any Ethernet network without the need for an internal card in the micro. Adaptec designed Nodem as an inexpensive networking solution whose modularity enables it to be easily adapted for various systems and functions.
