June 2003]
Elbox
Computer, the leading manufacturer of hardware for Amiga
computers,
is proud to announce two new products:
•
eFlash 4000 Zorro III card
• eFlash 1200 PCMCIA card
eFlash
4000
eFlash
4000 is an autobooting Zorro III card with 1MB (one
Megabyte)
of FlashROM memory with extremely fast 32-bit long words
access.
The on-board FlashROM allows storage of programs, which
are run at the computer's boot-up process. This allows
initialisation of PCI cards installed in Mediator-equipped
A3000 and A4000 computers before the AmigaOS system
starts. As a result, computer may be booted from mass
storage devices connected through various PCI controllers
e.g. Spider or Spider II USB 2.0 cards. The users of
the new Amiga operating system--AmigaOS4.x--will have
an additional benefit: the eFlash 4000 card
will give them a possibility of definite shortening
of the system's start time by executing the AmigaOS
code from the FlashROM memory.
FlashROM memory installed in eFlash 4000 cards allows
100,000 erase/programming cycles as a minimum. The card
is provided with hardware protection against unwanted
or accidental reprogramming and with a hardware switch
for selecting start of an alternative batch of programs
stored in the eFlash 4000 memory.
