Applications include software upgrades from a portable CD-ROM, portable tape backups and sharing SCSI peripherals, like SyQuest drives, scanners or external hard drives. The PortaSCSI-II, when combined with PC Card audio and speakers, provides the most cost effective upgrade path for full MPC-II multimedia applications on older notebook / laptop computers. The PortaSCSI-II features a modern SCSI-II, microdensity 50 position connector for direct connect to modern CD-ROM drives and other SCSI devices.

The PortaSCSI-II was developed in association with field service diagnostic tools from PSS and is based on proprietary ASIC technology providing a sleek design and the lowest possible component count.
