An All-In-One Solution For Your SCSI Peripherals --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY BENEFITS The easiest way to manage SCSI peripherals * For Windows(R) 95 and Windows NT(tm) operating systems * Includes these practical applications: * Adaptec Backup * QuickScan(tm) * Audio CD Player * Photo CD Viewer * CD Writer * CD Copier * Includes these power tools: * SCSI Explorer(tm) (Power Management, SCSI Interrogator(tm), Read/Write Disk Cache tool) * SCSITutor(tm) * SCSIBench(tm) * Drive Light --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adaptec EZ-SCSI 4.0 Overview If you have - or are planning to add SCSI peripherals like tape or disk drives, CD-ROM drives, recordable CD-R drives, magneto-optical drives, or scanners, Adaptec EZ-SCSI software provides everything you need to manage and take full advantage of each device. Adaptec EZ-SCSI software is a suite of 32-bit practical applications and power tools that are remarkably easy to install and use. Simple desktop controls give you immediate access to any function. A unique online tutorial explains everything you need to know about SCSI in easy-to-understand terms. Practical Applications: A Comprehensive, Cost-Effective Solution Adaptec EZ-SCSI software includes a full set of practical applications at one low price. Individual applications let you make quick and easy backups, manage audio CDs or Photo CDs on your CD-ROM drive, master and copy personal CDs to a recordable CD-R drive, and print, edit, or save scanned images. Adaptec Backup makes saving and restoring data quick and easy. Select volumes, directories, or files for easy backup using the graphical directory tree and a simple "drag and drop" interface. You can choose to back up all files or only those created or modified since the last backup. A number of tools let you easily specify criteria for back-up, such as date of creation or date files were last saved. Audio CD Player lets you listen to your favorite CDs from your CD-ROM drive by using on-screen controls. You can access the CD audio controls automatically in a full-size "jukebox" display, a standard size display, a mini-sized CD player audio control panel that can be placed anywhere on your screen , or control buttons placed on your Windows 95 toolbar. Controls include start, stop, pause, eject, repeat, shuffle and program. Photo CD Viewer lets you view and edit Photo CD images on your CD-ROM drive. You can display images in five different resolutions, from thumbnail to full photographic resolution, in 16 color, 256 color, gray-scale and True Color. Then, you can easily manipulate images by flipping them, rotating them, or cropping them. You can export images to other applications, or create a "slide show" that runs automatically or responds to keyboard or mouse commands. More than 80 photo images are included. CD Writer allows you to create your own CDs. Record information to a CD-R drive simply by dragging and dropping selected files or directories from File Manager to the CD Writer window. CD Copier is the quick, easy way to duplicate your personal CDs. Select the source and destination, click on the number of copies, and then go. Copy from any SCSI-2 CD-ROM drive to selected models of CD recorders . QuickScan is a useful companion for your scanner. You can scan an image with a single mouse click; the image can be saved as a file that can be exported to other applications, or sent to your printer for immediate viewing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Power Tools: The Easy Way to Peak Performance Adaptec EZ-SCSI software also includes valuable tools to enhance your computer system's performance. Individual power tools let you view detailed information on your SCSI configuration, automatically shut down disk drives when they're not in use, and monitor and fine-tune your SCSI drive performance. * SCSI Explorer, a suite of thre e tools that provides information on, and helps you fine-tune the performance of your SCSI peripherals. o Power Management reduces noise and conserves energy by automatically spinning down drives that are not in use. You can specify a time of day for drives to be powered down, have them automatically power down whenever there has been no mouse/keyboard activity or device activity for a specified time, or power them down manually whenever you wish. Drives power up again as soon as you need them. o SCSI Interrogator gives you a clear view of your I/O environment (your SCSI host adapter and your SCSI peripherals) and can help you spot trouble before there is a problem. A graphical representation details the hardware characteristics for each device connected to the SCSI bus, including name and version number, available storage capacity, supported SCSI features, defects, and mode parameters. If you have removable media devices, such as a removable disk or tape drive, you can issue commands to lock, unlock, or eject the media. o Read/Write Disk Cache tool provides faster performance for your SCSI hard drives and removable media drives. Disk caches - memory buffers which temporarily store blocks of data being read from or written to the disk - can greatly speed up disk access. Read and write caches can be fine-tuned for optimum performance. * SCSITutor is a unique online tutorial that explains everything you need to know about SCSI software, host adapters, and peripheral devices in easy-to-understand terms. It helps you get the most out of your SCSI system and all your SCSI peripherals. * SCSIBench measures how fast your host adapter transfers data from the SCSI devices connected to it. It includes random, sequential, and same-sector I/O transfers for benchmarking varying transfer sizes. * Drive Light lets you monitor activity on your SCSI devices and view information about read and write access for each device. You can add Drive Light icons for one or more devices on the Windows task bar so they are easily accessible. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adaptec EZ-SCSI Software Summary: Practical Applications * Adaptec Backup - Back up and restore to/from SCSI devices. * Audio CD Player - Play audio CDs on your CD-ROM drive. * Photo CD Viewer (Magic Lantern(tm) ) - View Photo CDs on your CD-ROM drive. * CD Writer (Easy-CD(tm) ) - Copy selected files to a CD-R drive. * CD Copier - Copy an entire CD of your personal files to a CD-R drive. * QuickScan - Print, view or save scanned images.
