External SCSI Enclosure with 5.25" IDE/ATAPI CD/DVD Recorder

Along with your purchased copy of GEAR PRO UNIX software, GEAR can provide a turn-key hardware solution for SCSI UNIX boxes. GEAR Software's turn-key solution includes a current model CD/DVD recorder, an external enclosure (choose your SCSI interface pin connection) and an Acard AEC-7720U or Acard AEC-7720UW IDE/SCSI converter card. This 'plug & play' solution from GEAR is available by contacting sales@gearsoftware.com.


GEAR provides external SCSI enclosures for three SCSI interfaces: 68-pin high density, 50-pin high density and 50-pin 'Centronics'.

Below are the configurations GEAR uses with the External SCSI Enclosures and their appropriate SCSI-IDE adapter card:


Part # EN 0026-00A



68-pin High Density




ACARD AEC-7720UW

Part # EN 0026-00B



50-pin High Density




ACARD AEC-7720UW

Part # EN 0026-00C



50-pin 'Centronics'




ACARD 7720U



To determine which external enclosure solution you need, check your SCSI interface card for the pin-count and find your cable type (if you already have your SCSI cable). For example, many Solaris 8 Sun Blade 150 systems have a PCI slot card with an external 68-pin High Density SCSI interface. In this example, a 68-pin high density cable could be used to connect to Part # EN 0026-00A (above).
