CONNER UNVEILS TAPE-STOR BRAND TAPE DRIVE -- CONNER 250MQ QIC DRIVE

LAKE MARY, FLA, May 19, 1993 -- Conner Distribution Products Group,
formerly Maynard Electronics, a unit of Conner Peripherals, Inc. (NYSE:
CNR), today introduced the first in a new line of Tape-Stor brand tape
drives -- the Conner Tape-Stor 250MQ system. The Conner Tape-Stor 250MQ
system is one of the lowest priced QIC-compatible minicartridge tape
backup drives for standalone PCs, and Lantastic and NetWare networks. This
system is now shipping in an internal configuration.

The Conner Tape-Stor 250MQ system delivers up to 250MB of capacity with
data compression. The Conner Tape-Stor 250MQ system includes Backup Assist
"Simply Safe" software for DOS and Windows environments, one of the
simplest backup software programs on the market today.

Conner's reputation for premium quality, combined with a highly competitive
price, makes the Conner Tape-Stor 250MQ system one of the best tape backup
values available today," said Pat Sullivan, vice president, distribution
channel management for Conner. "Our Tape-Stor brand represents a total
solution for the minicartridge market and makes tape backup an easy choice
for nearly every PC user."

Offering software data compression, the Tape-Stor 250MQ tape backup system
delivers an effective backup speed of approximately 9 MB/minute, backing
up a 90 MB hard disk in about 10 minutes. The Conner Tape-Stor 250MQ
system uses a new FastSense feature to determine the best data transfer
rate for the host PC and matches it. The Tape-Stor 250MQ system also fits
into one-inch drive bays for installation in a wide variety of systems and
can easily be installed internally in a PC using the existing floppy
controller.
