DynaMOŽ 230 PCMCIA Specifications
Family Alias : mCAT3

The DynaMO^Ž 230 PCMCIA drive is the first to include both of the two key necessities for portable computing peripherals, battery power and a convenient PC Card interface, delivering mobile freedom, near-hard drive speed and ease of use.

Measuring 25.3 mm (7/8-inch) high and weighing only 450 grams (15.8 oz.), the DynaMO^Ž 230 PCMCIA drive is the ideal storage companion to portable computers. The drive operates with the attachable battery pack using four standard AA batteries or the AC adapter. In addition, the DynaMO^Ž 230 PCMCIA drive features a credit-card-sized PC Card connector that -- with an interface transfer rate of 8MB/sec -- provides eight times the throughput of a standard parallel connection.

The DynaMO^Ž 230 PCMCIA drive's battery power source and rugged enclosure are optimised for the mobile computing environment. Our 3.5-inch 128MB or 230MB media allows users to utilise large database, spreadsheet, presentation, sound and video files and run applications with about the same performance as a hard drive.

User Investment In Data Protected

The DynaMO^Ž 230 PCMCIA uses ISO (International Standards Organisation) standard 3.5-inch, 90mm MO disks that are as convenient as 3.5-inch floppy disks yet provide up to 160 times the capacity, can be rewritten to an unlimited number of times, are safe from accidental erasure from magnetic fields, and are sturdier for portable use. Because of this high reliability and an estimated media lifetime of 30 years, Fujitsu backs its MO disk cartridges with a limited lifetime warranty. And, unlike other removable storage technologies, Fujitsu DynaMO drives allow users to read and write data on previous version 128MB 3.5-inch MO cartridges and are forward compatible with future generation DynaMO products.

Optimised For the Portable Computing Environment

The DynaMO^Ž 230 PCMCIA is ideal for the various environments where customers use their notebook computers. Since there is no contact with the media and laser-generated heat is used to write data, there is no chance of head crashes or data loss due to the bumps and shocks of the mobile environment. At the same time, the DynaMO^Ž 230 PCMCIA extends the capacity of mobile computing by enabling portable use of an entire desktop environment.
