Turn your SCSI device into a FireWire(IEEE1394) device.  Quick and easy Plug-and-play installation.  Attach the FR1SX to SCSI device, then connect the FR1SX to your Mac or Windows PC with FireWire(IEEE1394) Cable.

Enables you to handle a SCSI device as a FireWire(IEEE1394) device.

• Two FireWire(IEEE1394) 400Mbps ports(6-pin) are available.
• Supports FireWire(IEEE1394) Daisy Chain. (Does not support SCSI daisy Chain.)
• IEEE1394a fully compliant PHY-Link is included.
• Supports SBP2 ORB/CDB command set.
• Works as a FireWire(IEEE1394) repeater stand alone. (Requires AC Power adapter.)
• Works as a SCSI initiator

• Supports up to 20MB/sec data transfer.
• Supports Synchronous transfer.
• Supports Disconnection/Reconnection.
• Compatible with various SCSI devices.
  Hard Drive, CD-ROM/CD-Burner drives, DVD/DVD-Burner drives, MO drives, Removable drives, Scanners, Film Scanners, Tape drives. (Refer to the Compatible device lists for Windows and for Mac.)
• Supports FireWire boot up from SCSI HD with FR1SX. (Mac OS only)
• Supports legacy SCSI devices.
    *Some legacy device may require unique SCSI bus parameter, in the case, refer the "FR1SX Configuration Utility" just below.

• You don't need to install the specific driver for FR1SX. FR1SX is fully compatible with Mac OS 9.x, Mac OS X 10.x Apple FireWire Standard drivers and SBP2 drivers. The SCSI device will be shown up at the System Profiler by just hooking up to FireWire port.

System Requirements
	<Mac>
	Machintosh FireWire(IEEE1394) enabled PowerMac, PowerBook, iMac, iBook, and Mac mini. OS MacOS X 10.1.x, 10.2.x ,10.3.x, and 10.4. MacOS 9/9.1 or later. <Note for Mac OS 9 users> *You need to install FR1SX SIM driver to use Applications based on SIM-API(SCSI Interface Module Application Interface on Mac OS 9.x). You can download it from our web page, after user registration.     *Why do you need FR1SX SIM driver? *How it works?   Mac OS 9 recognizes a SCSI device as a FireWire device, through FR1SX. But, if you want to use SIM-API based application, you need to make your device be mounted as a SCSI device. The FR1SX converts FireWire IO request to SCSI IO request and provide SIM-API to the application. The SCSI port is shown up at 'System Profiler' and the attached device is mounted as a SCSI device through FR1SX (See the left image). *FR1SX SIM driver only works on Mac OS 9.x. If you are using Mac OS X, you don't need SIM driver, and you can use Mac OS X applications listed below. Certified Applications Vuescan 7 or later for Scanners and Film Scanners. Roxio Toast 5 or later for DVD and CD Burner. DANTZ Retrospect 5 or later for backup devices.
	<Windows>
	PC IEEE1394 or i.Link enabled Windows PC. Windows OS Windows XP/2000/Me. Windows 98SE (Windows update required). Certified Applications TWAIN compatible application software for Scanners. Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 or later for DVD and CD Burner. DANTZ Retrospect desktop 5.6 (Win) for backup utilities.

Device Requirement

SCSI devices required: High-density 50P female SCSI-2 connector. *For the SCSI-1 device with Centronics 50F connector, High-Density 50F to Centronics 50M adapter is available http://www.shop21.uk.com/en-gb/p_936.html. Single-End interface. Term-Power output capability. *If the device does not support term power output, use Optional AC Adapter. Or you may use popular DC5V switching regulator type AC adapter. Please refer the Specification table below; for more detailed information about plug (power tip) and amperage. Compatible with: SCSI HD, Removable HD, IOMega Jaz, ORB, MO drives, CD-ROM drives, CD-Burners, DVD-ROM drives, DVD-burners, scanners, film scanners, Tape drives. Please refer the Compatible device lists for Windows and for Mac. FR1SX DOES NOT support: - SCSI Daisy Chain. - Multiple LUN. - CD-ROM changers.
