TES-3

Raytheon Data Systems, Tape Drive Emulation

The TES-3 emulates reel-to-reel, half inch tape drives that connect to Raytheon Data Systems NRZI, PE or PE/NRZI Magnetic Tape Controller.

The TES-3 is plug-compatible with the original RDS-500 tape drives, while using ARRAID's proprietary solid state 'ARRAID Flash Drive' (AFD) to store data. Internal TES rotating drives (disk, tape & magneto-optic) can still be supported upon request.

These drives were used on computers made by Raytheon Data Systems, such as the RDS-500. Tape speed is typically 45ips, Start/Stop only. Recording densities from 800bpi NRZ mode to 1600fpi PE. The TES-3 can replace an existing drive and formatter. An existing formatter and its supported drive may be connected to the TES-3 using a special cable available from Arraid.

No host system software or controller changes are required to replace a refurbished 9 track tape drive with the TES-3.
