With the Roadrunner system upgrade, Alpha Micro Products provides the most economical and powerful growth path for users. The Roadrunner is designed specifically for budget-conscious customers who need a substantial increase in system throughput at minimal cost. This in-place upgrade product gives vintage Alpha Micro computer systems the ability to assume performance levels never before possible, while minimizing site disruption and customer expense.

Boasting either a 40MHz 68030, 66MHz 68040 or 80MHz 68040 processor, up to 32MB of memory and an on-board, high-speed SCSI-2 peripheral processor, the Roadrunner can dramatically increase a system's data processing ability. Simply insert the Roadrunner processor into your existing system, update your software, and you're off and running.

The Roadrunner uses your existing hardware as a peripheral controller for serial and parallel I/O, tape drives, VCR, and disk drives, and augments this with the powerful processing abilities of a 32-bit CPU. For even greater overall speed, upgrade your disks to SCSI-2 technology and take advantage of the Roadrunner's SCSI-2 processor.

And, buying a Roadrunner upgrade today sets the stage for the growth of your system tommorow. The Roadrunner is the first step on a migration path that transforms your existing legacy system into Alpha MicroProduct's next generation computer family, the Eagle. With a Roadrunner in place, upgrading to the next level is both easy and economical.

Whether you're upgrading, need a new stand-alone system, or require a client server in a local area network, Alpha Micro Products's family of systems will meet your needs.
