KOM Networks announces OptiServer support for DEC ULTRIX

Ottawa, ON Canada – August 31, 1992

KOM Networks is pleased to announce that their OptiServer® II product has been implemented on the RISC workstations from Digital Equipment running RISC/Ultrix™ version 4.2A or later. This implementation provides the same facilities as the VMS™ version of OptiServer II. OptiServer II is implemented as a device driver which permits jukeboxes of rewritable, multi-function or WORM optical disks to appear to the systems as a collection of magnetic disk drives. Since the optical volumes appear to be magnetic disk drives, the standard system utilities are used to create and access file systems on the optical media.

Digital's RISC workstations are high performance UNIX™ workstations using a MIPS R3000 RISC processor. The RISC/Ultrix operating system is based on the BSD variant of UNIX™.

Support for many popular 5.25", 12" and 14" jukeboxes is available, including the NKK566 and all models of the Hewlett Packard series of jukeboxes.

OptiServer II is also available for Q-bus, UNIBUS and BI bus VAX™ systems, as well as the VAXstation™ 3100, 3520 and 3540 and MicroVAX™ 3100 systems. OptiServer II is also supported by SPARCstation™ and SPARCserver™ systems from Sun Microsystems.
