IBM Announcement Letter Number 193-182 dated June 22, 1993 IBM US - Last Revised on June 22, 1993 Brief Description of Announcement, Charges, and Availability The IBM Enhanced External CD-ROM II Drive (3510-005) improves personal computer systems with Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) support, by enabling access to the growing number and variety of applications available on compact disc. A myriad of CD titles are offered in categories such as: o General reference o Application and operating system software o Education o Entertainment o Finance o Science and technology o Geography o Medicine o Law o Graphics and clip art. The IBM Enhanced External CD-ROM II Drive includes a high-performance, synchronous SCSI, compact disc read-only memory drive in an external enclosure. This option allows for the attachment of the CD-ROM drive, through the SCSI port, for systems without internal expansion capability. This drive performs at a maximum sustained data rate of 327KB/sec, more than twice the speed of most CD-ROM drives installed to date. It also has an average access of 205ms, among the fastest available. The IBM Enhanced External CD-ROM II Drive has been independently certified as compatible with a broad mix of third-party, non-IBM computer systems and SCSI adapters, by XXCAL (1) Testing Laboratories. Single Unit Price: $713. Availability Date: June 22, 1993. (1) Division of XXCAL, Inc. (2) Trademark of Eastman Kodak Company.

Customer Letter Section DESCRIPTION HIGH SPEED DATA TRANSFER RATE IBM Enhanced External CD-ROM II Drive performs at a maximum sustained data transfer rate of 327KB/sec, more than twice the speed of the typical CD-ROM installed to date. This allows the customer to transfer data off of a typical 600MB CD-ROM in a short period of time. The fast data transfer rate of the IBM Enhanced External CD-ROM II Drive provides an excellent means to load operating system and applications software. The typical large capacity (600MB) of the CD-ROM provides the system user a convenient alternative to installing software when compared to a typical installation of multiple floppy diskettes.

PACKAGING: PART NUMBER SHIPMENT GROUP 32G2959 IBM Enhanced External CD-ROM II Drive External Drive CD-ROM Caddy Test disc, option diskette Installation publications are included with the hardware. SECURITY, AUDITABILITY AND CONTROL Security and auditability features of the system to which this product is attached are: o A mechanical lock to allow the user to lock the system cover o A user-invoked password function used to prevent the use of the system by unauthorized persons o Enhanced security feature (Privileged-Access Password) when used with 9556 and 9557 o The drive is enabled for software controlled eject and the ability to lock media in or out of the drive. LIMITATIONS: Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), as defined in the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard X3.131-199X, provides for multiple SCSI adapters (initiators) on the SCSI bus. The SCSI bus may be internal or external to the system unit. The IBM PS/2 SCSI adapters are in conformance with this standard and have an external port. A data security exposure exists even with Power-On Password installed, since external SCSI adapters can attach through the external SCSI port and gain undetected read or write access to data stored on internal and external SCSI devices. Physical access to the system and external SCSI devices must be controlled to limit this exposure. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and implementation of security features, administrative procedures and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
