BOCA RATON, FL (July 6, 1992) - SyDOS, a division of SyQuest Technology,
today announced two new removable cartridge disk drives at record low
prices - never before obtained in this industry - for the PC and
compatibles market . The drives utilize Winchester hard disk technology
offering the same performance levels as fixed hard drives with comparable
price tags. Called the SyDOS PUMA 44 and PUMA 88, these drives are
designed for easy installation and use, each with their own self-contained
power supply and dedicated parallel port adapter. The unmatched suggested
list prices and the user-friendly design of PUMA drives open new doors to
removable mass storage for the PC market.

"With PC applications consistently growing in capacity requirements,"
states Linda Haury, vice president of marketing for SyDOS, "PC users are
outgrowing their hard disk drives. Buying another fixed hard drive is a
temporary solution and is limited to the capacity of the drive. SyDOS has
made removable cartridge disk drives available to all PC users with the
introduction of PUMA drives. With a suggested list price of $638, it is
likely that PUMA 44 drives will be sold for under $400 while the PUMA 88
(suggested list price of $799) will be sold for under $500 to the end user
-unheard of prices in this industry."

Haury added, "The cost and the ease of installation and use, make the PUMA
drive ideal for a much larger segment of the PC market. Small business and
home office users can now afford a removable cartridge hard disk drive.
Larger business users now have an inexpensive solution for expandable
removable storage instead of buying another fixed hard drive when their
systems reach capacity limits. Plus the added benefits of removability
allow users to transport data, lock it up, back up, and get an unlimited
capacity hard disk drive. PUMA drives are targeted at virtually any PC
user with additional storage requirements."

The SyDOS PUMA 44 and PUMA 88 (44MB and 88MB's respectively) are external
subsystems that will plug into the parallel port of virtually any DOS- or
Windows-based desktop, laptop or notebook PC. With its own power supply
included, PUMA eliminates the need to draw power from a PC, a benefit that
can enhance a PC system's reliability. Additionally, PUMA drives come
complete with drive, cartridge, dedicated parallel port, power supply, and
installation software - a combination that guarantees quick, easy
installation and convenient day-to-day use.

SyDOS PUMA drives are based on SyQuest technology which utilizes Winchester
hard disk technology in a removable cartridge product. SyDOS offers the
best warranty in the industry with a two year warranty on the drive and a
five year warranty on the SyQuest cartridge.

SyDOS offers a full line of removable cartridge disk drives and Host Bus
Adapter Kits. Drive subsystems are available in 44MB and 88MB capacities,
in internal, external and dual configurations. Drives can be purchased
separately from Host Bus Adapters or as a complete "one box" solution
called a "Value Pack". Host Bus Adapter Kits include a Micro Channel Kit,
Parallel Port Kit, High Performance and Enhanced Performance 16-bit Kit,
and a Standard 8-bit Kit.

Technology, headquartered in Fremont, California. SyDOS was formed to
