What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer rates between modem (28.8k), an analog telephone-line throughput, and SCSI (Fast Ultra), a high-speed parallel storage interface. It allows comparisons of legacy modem speeds with modern SCSI data rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in modem (28.8k) units you wish to convert
-
Select modem (28.8k) as the source unit and SCSI (Fast Ultra) as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent SCSI (Fast Ultra) value
-
Review the results and use them for comparison or analysis purposes

Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter primarily for comparative and analytical purposes
-
Keep in mind that modem speeds vary due to line quality and hardware factors
-
Be aware that SCSI (Fast Ultra) speeds are theoretical maximums dependent on system setup
-
Verify conversions when planning hardware integration or performance evaluations
Limitations
-
Modem (28.8k) rates are approximate and influenced by analog line quality
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra) speeds may differ based on device and bus configurations
-
Direct data transfer between modem and SCSI units is rare; conversion is mainly comparative
-
Conversion does not reflect actual practical transfer but serves analytical uses
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (28.8k) represent?
-
It represents a data transfer rate of approximately 28,800 bits per second over an analog telephone line using a 28.8k dial-up modem.
