The OXFW911 is a high-performance 1394 to ATA/ATAPI (IDE) native bridge with an integrated target Serial Bus Protocol (SBP-2 ) controller. By supporting the SBP-2 protocol, the device can use generic SBP-2 drivers available in the Microsoft Windows 98SE, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Millennium and Apple MacOS (8.4 to 9.04) operating systems. MacOS support also includes booting from Firewire disk. The device is ideally suited for smart-cable or tailgate interface applications for removable-media drives, compact flash card readers, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM and hard disk drives, allowing IDE drives to be connected to a 1394 serial bus in a plug-and-play fashion. Both ATA and ATAPI devices are supported using the same firmware.
