The array is equipped with a Wide Ultra SCSI interface, providing

transfer rates up to 40MB per second.

Ciprico 6500 arrays readily fit into any standard SCSI platform

environment, including DEC, HP, IBM, Silicon Graphics (SGI), Sun,

and PC.

Note Different model numbers identify 6500 subsystems as

single-ended (Model 6511) or differential (Model 6512).

In this guide, references to 6500 diskarrays applyto both

models unless specifically stated otherwise.
