WICHITA, KS - July 19, 2005 - WiebeTech announces enhancements to its FireWire
DriveDockª which allow bare 3.5" IDE and 2.5" notebook drives to mount to hosts via
FireWire or USB2 ports.
"FireWire DriveDock+ and Notebook DriveDock+ add numerous features to our original
DriveDocks," said James Wiebe, CEO of WiebeTech. "For instance, LED indicators give
a visual indication when a FireWire or USB host are attached to the dock. This simple
feature is immensely valuable when troubleshooting a drive (or a host computer).
Approximately a dozen new features have been added to these DriveDocks so that
they will be the very best utility docking devices ever used by our customer base."
Typical users for FireWire DriveDock+ and Notebook DriveDock+ include IT personnel
and technicians, multimedia developers, forensic investigators and all users desiring
easily swapped media.
