Cipher Data Products Inc of San Diego has introduced what it claims is the highest capacity, fastest and smallest tape back-up system available for the models of the IBM AS/400 line that use 9406 processor. The half-inch cartridge Cipher 383 drive is claimed to help ensure data integrity in the event of disk drive failure. The company plans two models, with production due to start next month, but no details of price or of capacity were provided.
