SPEED UP WITH AN MVS ROM DRIVE !!! The MVDISK series of low cost and easy to program solid state drives look exactly like a disk to the software but DOS and programs are stored in EPROM or FLASH. In environments where mechanical drives cause reliability problems an MVDISK is the perfect solution. No moving parts! Development systems and test stations which need to be constantly rebooted can benefit from the speed of a ROM drive. Other advantages include copy protection from software piracy and 100% immunity to viruses. Far more secure than other solid state disk drives. The MVDISK is an easy way to convert a PC motherboard into an embedded controller. Using the newer "baby" size motherboard with a small right angle adapter (BP4) allows the cards to lie flat resulting in a very compact unit. This makes it feasible to use inexpensive but powerful tools like Quick Basic or Turbo C for dedicated applications. 256k, 2.88m, and 16m sizes are available. The MVDISK1 is a 1/4 slot lo-profile card that uses a 27020 type IC. The MVDISK2 is half-slot low-profile and accepts 27020-040. The MVDISK3 is half-slot full-height and uses 27020-27080 type. With EPROMs the data image is simply transferred from disk using any programmer. The MVS programmer (MVPROM) is more convenient since image files are not involved. If FLASH chips are used then no programmer or eraser are required. Up to four MVDISKs can be installed per computer. A 16k footprint in the PC ROM area means no compatibility problems. No RAM or IRQs are used and special device drivers are not needed. Includes easy to follow, non-technical, instructions. LIMITED WARRANTY MVS will repair free of charge product suffering from manufacturing defects for a period of 5 years after shipping. This will be done only if it has been determined by MVS that the product has not been misused (improper voltages, physical alteration, etc.). Otherwise a minimum service charge is required.
