What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms data transfer measurements from SCSI (Async), which represents asynchronous data exchange in SCSI devices, into ISDN (dual channel), a telecommunication data rate descriptor using two bonded ISDN B channels.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (Async) units representing asynchronous data throughput
-
Select the conversion target as ISDN (dual channel) to calculate equivalent rates
-
Execute the conversion to view results in ISDN dual channel terms
-
Use the results to compare legacy SCSI performance with telecommunication standards
Key Features
-
Converts asynchronous SCSI throughput to ISDN dual channel rates
-
Uses a standardized conversion factor based on transfer rate equivalence
-
Supports benchmarking of legacy SCSI devices with modern telecom rates
-
Browser-based and easy to use for engineers and hobbyists
Examples
-
1 SCSI (Async) equals 93.75 ISDN (dual channel)
-
2 SCSI (Async) equals 187.5 ISDN (dual channel)
Common Use Cases
-
Benchmarking throughput of older SCSI devices in asynchronous mode
-
Troubleshooting device timing and handshake compatibility on SCSI buses
-
Planning telecom data rates using equivalent SCSI asynchronous measurements
-
Configuring embedded or retrocomputing systems with SCSI async links
-
Evaluating ISDN bonded channel service scenarios for data and voice
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify device modes to confirm asynchronous SCSI operation before conversion
-
Consider device response times and bus arbitration effects on throughput
-
Use this conversion for planning and comparison rather than precise throughput metrics
-
Apply results in network engineering and legacy system benchmarking contexts
-
Remember that ISDN dual channel rates represent service-level throughput, not raw protocol speed
Limitations
-
Conversion relates asynchronous SCSI transfer rates to a telecommunication service descriptor rather than an SI unit
-
Actual throughput varies depending on device behavior and communication conditions
-
ISDN (dual channel) may not account for protocol overhead or link efficiency differences with SCSI
-
Results are approximate and intended for comparative or planning purposes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Async) stand for in this converter?
-
SCSI (Async) denotes asynchronous data transfer mode in the SCSI protocol where data is exchanged via request/acknowledge handshakes without synchronous clocks.
-
What is meant by ISDN (dual channel)?
-
ISDN (dual channel) uses two 64 kbit/s bearer channels bonded together in an ISDN Basic Rate Interface to provide combined data rates around 128 kbit/s.
-
Why would I convert from SCSI (Async) to ISDN (dual channel)?
-
Converting helps translate legacy SCSI asynchronous throughput data into telecommunication data rate equivalents for benchmarking, planning, or compatibility analysis.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Async)
-
An asynchronous data-transfer mode in the SCSI protocol where data is exchanged using request/acknowledge handshakes without a shared clock.
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication data rate descriptor using both 64 kbit/s B channels bonded together for a combined throughput of approximately 128 kbit/s.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to translate one unit of SCSI (Async) into ISDN (dual channel), specifically 1 SCSI (Async) equals 93.75 ISDN (dual channel).
