UltraBlock-IDE Read/Write

We offer an UltraBlock IDE pre-configured for read/write operation. It is available in a yellow case so that you can easily distinguish a pre-configured read/write device from a read-only device.

PC Interface:	FireWire-A, FireWire-B, USB (1.X/2.0)
Drive Interface:	Parallel IDE (48 Bit ATA-6 Compatible)
User Configurable:	Read-Only or Read-Write

Versatile Operation

In Write Protect mode, the UltraBlock will prevent ANY and ALL writes from reaching the attached device. It is compatible with all Windows 98se, Windows ME, Windows 2K/XP, and any O/S that supports IEEE 1394 and has a compliant card and drivers.

In Read/Write mode (non-Write Protected), it can be used to attach a drive to be used for receiving images on your FireWire chain.

The UltraBlock is shipped by default in a Read-Only (write blocking) configuration. However, it can be configured to enable Read-Write operation as well. To prevent unwanted alteration it necessary for the customer to make a modification to the housing to enable the Read-Write operation.
