Supra Corp. claims that its WordSync a hard-disk drive interface
doubles data transfers to your Amiga's 30-, 45-, or 80-megabyte
SupraDrive.
 
Supra Corp says that WordSync is faster because its hardware
circuitry synchronizes data transfers from the Wordsync SCSI chip
with the Amiga's 68000 microprocessor and because it transfers 2
bytes of data on each transfer cycle rather than the standard 1
byte per cycle. The card itself is a one-slot half-card with a
SCSI expansion port and a jumper for turning the autobooting
sequence on and off.
 
It's compatible with the Amiga Bridgeboard, RAM boards,
digitizers and other boards. It supports Commodore's Hard
Block Specification.
 
Price: 30-megabyte, $649; 45-megabyte, $749; 80-megabyte, $1299.
