New Uk company Baydel Ltd, Leatherhead, Surrey, is taking Sun Microystems boards and adapting the supporting hardware and software, to reach the mechanical and industrial niche markets that Sun cannot reach. There is a 25MHz 386i-based tower file server, and a supermicro. Both use 600Mb Winchesters, a small system disk and standard 150Mb tape cartridge. This gives a capacity of up to 2Gb, which can also be backed up on to a single 2Gb 8mm video type tape cartridge. Terminal support is serial, or via Ethernet running under TCP/IP. The machines run Unix V.3.2 and include NFS. Each is available in stand-alone or rack-mount enclosures for industrial, ruggedised, military and Tempest applications.
