New Media offers cards with frills at no-frills prices

Article Abstract:

New Media's three inexpensive PC Cards offer good, no-frills functionality. Because each card features a built-in standard interface, no special cables or dongles are needed. Each card stops drawing power when it is not being used. The BASICS SCSI adapter lacks Fast SCSI II support and Corel SCSI software, but costs only about $90. The BASICS Gameport card, which sells for $58 to $80, works with both digital and analog joysticks and DOS, Windows 3.x and Windows 95 games. The Gameport card includes a DB-15 joystick port. The BASICS LAN Card, about $90, is a 10Base-T Ethernet card with an RJ-45 network connector. It supports Windows 3.x, 95 and NT, Windows for Workgroups and NetWare. An LED indicates power usage.

Portable presentation power!

Article Abstract:

Today's projector units are brighter than yesterday's LCD devices that fed off a video signal from a computer. A projector unit also comes with a built-in light source. Many units now feature SVGA support and work with VCRs as well as computers. Sharp's $7,995 NoteVision Projection XG-NV1U weights a scant 16 pounds. nView's $7,000, 21-lb L-550 SVGA Projector supports resolutions as high as 1,024-by-768 with XGA images. Sarif's Shuttle LT800 comes in a $9,195 data-only version and $7,690 data-and-video version. Savvy presenters make full use of their portable computer's multimedia features. The CD-ROM can be used to play ambient music during breaks, for example. It is always a good idea to add more RAM.
