1. Introduction
The VP-9059 is a high-performance 1394 to ATA/ATAPI native bridge
with an embedded SBP-2 target solution. It supports a solution for
link/transaction layer controller conforming to the IEEE Std 1394
(IEEE 1394-1995 and IEEE 1394.a) up to 400Mbps transfer rate.
Compatibles with all 3.5” hard disk drives (HDDs).

Compatibles with all 3.5” hard disk drives (HDDs).
Through the SBP-2 port driver, supported by Microsoft Windows 98
SE/2000/ME/XP, SCSI class drivers can use SBP-2 to communi-
cate with IEEE 1394 device using the SCSI command set.

The VP-9059 is ideally suited to hard disk drives (HDDs).It allows
IDE drives being able to connect to a 1394 serial bus in a plug-and-
play fashion. The ATA/ATAPI interface of VP-9059 supports signal
timing up to Ultra-DMA mode 5.
