IN TRANSIT

Look for NEC Electronics to launch its TransProcessor chip at the Fall Comdex show in Las Vegas next week. The chip enables sustained 2.5 MB/sec data transfer over parallel cabling up to 100 meters - at the same speed as DOS transfer between two directories on the same internal hard disk. NEC will demo a PC Card implementation at the trade show; however, TransProcessor is also said to be suitable for printer ports, network switches, digital cameras, CD-ROMs and tape back-up units. The company has volume ready for shipment at $10 per device in 10,000 unit quantities.
