4MB Solid State Disk Emulator

The PCI PROMDISK is the PCI 2.1 compliant version of MCSI's popular PROMDISK IV disk emulator board. The PCI PROMDISK can emulate up to three Read-Write floppy or fixed disk drives with capacities ranging from 128K to 4M-bytes. This means that a program developed utilizing DOS on any PCI Compatible will run without a disk in a target application system. The board can be configured as one 4M-byte drive, two 2M-byte drives, or one 2M-byte drive, one 1.5M-byte drive, and one 512K-byte drive. In addition, you can also use PCI PROMDISK with other physical drives in the system. Therefore, you can boot from a PCI PROMDISK drive C and read the application code from a physical disk in the system, creating a flexible development environment.
