==Current status== [[File:Mylex DAC960PG PJ.jpg|thumb|[[Mylex]] [[SCSI]] [[RAID]] controller for [[PCI bus]] uses a i960]] Some i960 I/O processors, such as the 80303, include a built-in hardware [[XOR]] engine for [[RAID]] algorithms.<ref>{{cite web |title=Intel 80960RM I/O Processor Data Sheet |url=https://datasheet.octopart.com/GC80960RM100SL3YZ-Intel-datasheet-144932.pdf}}.</ref> They are used as controllers for higher-end, [[RAID]]-capable, [[SCSI]]-disk-array, host-adapter cards as well as Digital Equipment/Compaq/HP's high-end SCSI and [[Digital Storage Systems Interconnect|DSSI]], and eventually [[Fibre Channel]] HSx-series, standalone RAID controllers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dectrader.com/on_platform-storageworks-seminar-by-kevin-schumacher-mark-difabio-op.html|title=On Platform Storageworks Seminar notes |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425092415/http://www.dectrader.com/on_platform-storageworks-seminar-by-kevin-schumacher-mark-difabio-op.html |archive-date=April 25, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |date=2000-01-19 |title=Intel Expands I/O Building Block Family To Include Intel Integrated RAID Design Kit, Software And Controller |url=https://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/2000/io011900.htm|url-status=live |location=SANTA CLARA, Calif. |publisher=[[Intel]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200829121403/https://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/2000/io011900.htm |archive-date=2020-08-29 |access-date=2020-08-29}}</ref> An i960RS chip also powers [[Adaptec]]'s AAR-2400A controller, which uses four commodity [[parallel ATA]] drives to build an affordable [[RAID-5]] protected fault-tolerant storage system for small PC servers and workstations. The i960 was also used in some [[Brocade Communications Systems|Brocade]] [[Fibre Channel]] switches to run [[Fabric OS]]. The i960 architecture is also used in [[slot machine]]s. Currently, they are found in [[International Game Technology|IGT]]'s Stepper S2000 family and i960 video family. It was also used as the main CPU of [[Sega]]'s famous [[Sega Model 2|Model 2]] series of arcade boards. The [[Indian Air Force]]'s [[HAL Tejas]] light combat aircraft's MMR (multi-mode radar) is said to use the i960. The HAL Tejas was introduced into service in 2015. The [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO) is said to use the chip in its on-board computers in its launch vehicles. The i960 processor is also used in [[Automatic Radar Plotting Aid]] (ARPA) interfacing boards in [[radar]]s from [[Kelvin Hughes]]. The chip was used on some [[HP X-Terminals]]. Some [[SATA]] RAID controllers use Intel's 80303 IOP (Intelligent I/O Processor), which integrates a PCI-to-PCI bridge, memory controller, and a 80960JT-100 CPU core. The chip was used on the [[Alcatel-Lucent]] 1000 [[ADSL]] [[broadband]] modem.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://security.sdsc.edu/self-help/alcatel/1000ADSL.jpg |title=Image of the circuit board of an Alcatel 1000 ADSL modem |website=security.sdsc.edu |access-date=September 24, 2018}}</ref>
