CD-ROM drives available. The UltraPlex 40max represents the pinnacle of
achievement for standard 50-pin, 8-bit SCSI interface CD-ROM drives. The
UltraPlex Wide is the only CD-ROM in the world that supports Wide Ultra
SCSI and uses 68-pin connectors on a 16-bit bus. There is not a more efficient
CD-ROM in the world.
The throughput of these UltraPleX, CAV CD-ROM drives varies throughout the
disc. You are guaranteed a minimum of 17 speed performance and will
experience up to 40 speed performance with certain CD-ROM discs and
applications.
We appreciate the confidence you have shown in us. Our goal is to put you—
and keep you—on the leading edge of CD-ROM drive performance. To get
you there, we first have to help you install your UltraPleX drive properly and
operate it correctly. After that, the responsibility is yours to discover the
applications that make a Plextor CD-ROM drive such a powerful and exciting
addition to your system.
For UltraPleX Wide Owners: Please note that the installation of the UltraPleX
Wide differs only slightly from the UltraPleX 40max. In the areas where
installation differs, we will use the symbol UW in the margin; otherwise, all
references are made using the UltraPleX 40max as an example.
This manual is designed to be followed in sequence. It is aimed primarily
