Tele Graffiti: Bringing the paper age With the introduction of modern computer technologies, the days have gone to do paper back work. The enhanced technology called ‘TELE GRAFFITI’ has again helped the paper world to mark its presence.It is a system that allows two or more users to communicate remotely through hand-drawn sketches. MORE THAN AN INTERFACE - SCSI vs. ATA This paper sets out to clear up a misconception prominent in the storage community today, that SCSI disc drives and IDE (ATA- Advanced Technology Attachment) disc drives are the same technology internally, and differ only in their external interface, rate of transfer of data and in their suggested retail price. The two classes of drives represent two different product lines aimed at two different markets. In fact, both classes contain a range of products that address a variety of features and usage patterns beyond simply the interface used to talk to the device. The target market and final product specification are taken into account from the earliest design decision through the manufacturing and testing process. This paper attempts to clarify the differences by illuminating some of these design choices and their consequences on final device characteristics. This will hopefully allow the community to build better storage systems with better knowledge of the trade-offs being made and the performance characteristics that result.
