| Reactive's
Tiger group is recognised as a leader in the field of
upgrading data storage for mid-size, legacy computer systems.
Because the storage drive unit is typically the least reliable
element, Reactive's products and systems can prolong the life
of aging computer systems. Our products are used extensively
in flight simulators, telephone logging computers, automatic
test equipment (ATE), pre-press publishing systems, power utility
and SCADA and most other systems that have incurred a large
investment in special hardware and unique, non-portable software. |

Reactive
provides disk, tape and floppy drive emulation products that
produce a significant performance improvement over the
original drives. Benefits include much higher reliability, greater
storage capacity, lower power consumption, reduced cooling requirements,
decreased floor space and lower maintenance expenses. By upgrading
your present drive to Reactive?s state-of-the-art SCSI based
emulation systems you can utilise modern features such as off-line
high-speed disk copy, backup to magneto-optical
(MO) disk. On-line copy, internal mirroring, and other RAID
techniques are also available. |
| These data storage products are ideally
suited for upgrading mini, mainframe, and real-time computer
systems. Due to limitations in the original software or hardware,
these systems are often unable to migrate to later computer
platforms and storage systems. Reactive's storage emulation
products provide an economical way to improve data storage without
modifications to the computer's hardware, operating system,
or software. |

Function: See PDF above
Description:
The HKD- 6200 has been designed to replace the AED-6200 range of
disk storage System. It works by emulating the Read/Write Command
set of the AED-6200. Additionally, the host interface is effectively
identical to that of the AED-6200. Therefore, to the host system,
the HKD-6200 appears to be identical to a double sided, dual drive
AED-6200, hence avoiding the need for any modifications to either
the hosts hardware or software.
