Description The
TES-2 system provides a new and warranted equipment
replacement for aging and refurbished reel-to-reel, .5" (half inch) 9
track tape drives that adhere to the industry standard, Formatted Pertec Protocol.
The TES-2 is plug-compatible with the
original Pertec 9 track formatted interface tape drive, while using
current and reliable SCSI drive technology to store data. No host
system software or controller changes are required to replace a
refurbished 9 track tape drive with the TES-2.
The TES-2 provides a complete bridge
between the host 9 track Pertec formatted tape controller and the
TES's SCSI drive, replacing tape reels with currently produced magneto
optical removable cartridges. Free yourself from difficult 9 track
tape reel loading procedures, failing tape sensors, and vacuum pumps.
Pertec formatted 9 track tape drives have been widely used on computer
systems since the late '70s with specialized operations and hardware
that can not be rehosted on a simple PC.
The TES-2 offers a new equipment
replacement for failing Pertec 9 track tape drives. While refurbished
Pertec 9 track tape drives are available, refurbished tape drives
commonly fail within a few months resulting in system down time.
The TES-2 is provided as new equipment,
with a warranty, and MTBF of 100,000+ hours. The TES-2 can replace
most existing Pertec Formatted interface tape drives or may be added
to the existing tape drive chain. The TES-2 supports tape speeds
ranging from 12.5ips to 75ips Start/Stop, to 125ips Streaming and
recording densities from 800bpi NRZ mode to 6400fpi PE. Additional
TES-2 options include Ethernet based tape data access, and replacement
of tape reels with magneto optical or PCMCIA flash card media.
No refurbished Pertec interface tape
drive can match the reliability, features and customer support
provided by choosing the TES-2 to replace your aging Pertec interface
reel to reel tape drive. Contact Reactive today to learn more about
