- 150 MB SCSI model in the Archive Viper streaming cartridge range
- Half-height 5.25-inch drive with an embedded controller and 64 KB buffer
- Configurable SCSI identity, parity, disconnect size and termination
Archive 2150S combines a quarter-inch cartridge mechanism with an embedded SCSI controller for system backup, software distribution, logging and data interchange.
Its 150 MB identity separates it from the 60 MB 2060S, while the half-height chassis supports horizontal or documented vertical mounting.
A reliable replacement depends on matching media requirements, SCSI topology, jumper settings, termination, power and host-software support rather than selecting by Viper family name alone.
Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for Archive 2150S are confirmed during quotation.
