M-Systems Embedded TrueFFS Products

AnnaSoft is a licensed distributor of M-Systems products such as the Embedded TrueFFS (TrueFFS PRO) Integrator Kit and the PCMCIA TrueFFS (TrueFFS Pro) Integrator¦s Kit. TrueFFS is a Flash Translation Layer (FTL) based Flash File System which emulates a Hard Drive. FTL based Flash File Systems allow designers to create a truly embedded Intel processor design. M-Systems' TrueFFS technology is recognized as the industry's fastest flash file system. It provides a more robust performance than a regular hard disk in a system and can also be introduced as an additional disk in the system without the need for an extra IDE bay.
The Embedded TrueFFS Integrator¦s Kit (ETIK) is a complete package for implementing a TrueFFS Flash disk onto a PC motherboard for single board designs. The ETIK comes with a 4 Mbyte ISA or PC/104 Flash Disk that is bootable and maintenance-free. The kit includes the TrueFFS Software, 10 Flash disk controller chips (for plugging onto motherboard), full technical support and schematics information and 10 licenses. The ETIK makes installation of TrueFFS hassle free, letting developers better spend their time focusing on product development.
The PCMCIA TrueFFS Integrator¦s Kit (PTIK) provides designers with a fast, reliable and economical mass storage medium. The PTIK satisfies compatibility concerns as it is compatible with PCMCIA/JEIDA standards and runs on MS-DOS, Windows, and Windows 95 operating systems. The kit includes source code that works with the Intel user¦s existing PCMCIA software, the TFFSBIOS module that allows the system designer to create a bootable PCMCIA Flash card, and an M-Systems PCMCIA Flash Card to aid in integration and testing of the system. The TrueFFS software makes installation and support for PCMCIA Flash cards very simple. In the event of problems, designers can contact AnnaSoft for technical support.
