FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Microtech customers have described the NOVA as a "user friendly masterpiece". NOVA drives are easy to install with all the necessary cables and documentation provided. The preformatted NOVA drives feature auto boot for a fast startup, and auto park for a safe shut down. The shut down procedure automatically parks the heads in an area not used for data storage, effectively eliminating data loss and damage.

Dual ports are available for daisy chaining up to seven SCSI peripherals. And, the NOVA series drives are externally addressable for quick and easy address changing without opening the drive.

As an added bonus, NOVA series drives come with MultiFinder, Apple's new multitasking application. MultiFinder allows access to a wide variety of appli­ cations all at once with lightning speed. Also included with the NOVA drives is Apple's most recent system release along with HD backup, disk first aid, ImageWriter and LaserWriter print drivers, and all the necessary desk accessories and control panel utilities.

As a special service to our customers, upon request, Microtech will provide the latest Apple Computer and Microtech software revisions to your NOV A system disk. Ask your dealer for details. WARRANTY From the beginning, when 90 day warranties werethe industry standard, Microtech International stood behind our products one full year. Microtech now offers an UNPRECEDENTED five year limited warranty on the complete line of NOVA disk drives. Ask your dealer or Microtech representative for details.

• As in all SCSI applications, the actual drive performance is dependent upon many factors including the controller and software used to access the drive as well as the type of Macintosh computer being used. Microtech International, Inc. has developed a controller buffer and software applications giving the NOVA disk drives faster speed and higher performance than many of the so-called fast access time disk drives.

Due to the demands of remaining at the forefront of a constantly changing technology, Microtech International, Inc. reserves the right to change specifications without notice.

DESCRIP'fiON

The powerful, sophisticated and extremely economical MICRO MAC serks internal hard disk drives provide high performance megastorage capabilities without taking up extra desk space. The MICRO MAC series delivers a choice of power in 30 and ·1 c; megabyte capacities, with higher capacities soon to be avail­ able. And for the Mac II, you can double your power by combining any two Micro Mac models to get 60, 75 or 90 megabytes.

Hugged, shock mounted, yet compact and lightweight, the MI­ CRO MAC fits easily into the case of the Macintosh SE or Macintosh II and is internaUy connected to the computer through the high speed SCSI interface. Replacing one of the two existing floppy drives in the Macintosh SE or adding a hard disk(s) to the Macintosh II, the MICRO MAC series offers storage capacities up to '50 times that of an BOOK (s), with speeds up to 20 times faster. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find a faster, quieter, more economical hard drive on the market today. trouble-shooting section for coaxing a uncooperativedrive into MICROMAC 30 submission.

We encountered no problems when using the MicroMAC 30: Installing the drive went without a hitch, and Microtech Peripherals was the only manufacturer to include the latest System and Finder with their utility software. PERFORMANCE AND PRICE The MicroMAC performed our benchmark tests faster than the Pro40 from CMS, the only other internal SE hard drive we tested. As a result, we can say it offers you an excellent combination of price and perfornmnce.Like the CMS drive, the MicroMAC does not require a case or power supply, making

the lower cost possible. · Also like the CMS Pro40, the MicroMAC proved to be a reliable perfonner. It incluqes an automatic head-locking mechanism that secures the hard drive for travel. ERGONOMICS The MicroMAC is quiet, though slightly louder than the CMS Pro40. Unlike the CMS Pro40, The MicroMAC uses the slot for the upper SE floppy and requires removing that drive. As a. result, the MicroMAC comes with an LED indicator that fits into the empty space left by the removed floppy drive. While effective, the LED is not needed because of MicroMAC's slight noise at access. EASE OF USE Installation of the MicroMAC is identical to that of the CM� Pro40, with the additional step of removing the upper floppy. The SE was designed with removing the upper floppyin mind, so it is a simple operation. Since it is one of only two internal drives (in addition to the remaining floppy),MicroMAC can be set at 1:eroin the SCSI address chain. This means you will have no conflict with other SCSI devices when daisy-chaining, since zero is reserved for the internal drive console. SUPPORT SOFTWARE The MicroMAC comes with only its own formatting program and liDBackup, Apple's backup software. OTHER PERKS The MicroMAC manual has an excellent section on using liD Backup, something other manufacturers have neglected. While not outstanding, the manual does include a diagram of the SE main logic board (useful while installing the drive) and a
