Re: Abit's SecureIDE

[james Hughes]

I misspoke.

The company that built the chip for Abit is aNova in Taiwan. They have 
a 3des version of their chip. They also sell a board that does this. 
$80 for DES and $150 for 3DES.

aNova also has a Laptop version.

Thanks

"SecureIDE", supposed to encrypt information between the CPU and the

Have a look at
http://www.abit.com.tw/abitweb/webjsp/english/SecureIDE.htm
The idea is simple:

CPU <--> Chip <--> HD
<clip>

I quote:

"40-bit DES (US Data Encryption Standard) is adequate for general
users"

Interesting.  Can these chips be usefully cascaded?
