ADAPTEC UNVEILS IOware PRODUCT SOLUTIONS AT PC EXPO 
Adaptec, Booth 801, Demonstrates Easy-To-Use I/O Products for Improved
System Performance

NEW YORK, June 29, 1993 -- Adaptec, an industry leader in computer
input/output (I/O) technology, today unveils its newest Small Computer
System Interface (SCSI) IOware product solutions at PC Expo. Throughout
the three-day event, Adaptec is showcasing its newest IOware products: the
enhanced version of the company's easy-to-use SCSI
installation-configuration software, Adaptec EZ-SCSI 2.0, now with Photo
CD support and the Trantor-brand SCSI connections product line. Adaptec is
also demonstrating the next generation of its industry-leading ISA-to-SCSI
host adapter, the AHA-1542C; its high-performance disk array hardware and
software; and its new single-chip ISA-to-Fast SCSI host adapter, the
AIC-6360.

Adaptec's presence at PC Expo reflects the tremendous demand from computer
resellers and corporate volume buyers for IOware knowledge and products.

"Over the past few years, Adaptec has developed SCSI products that hide the
complexity of SCSI and make IOware products easy to use," said John Hamm,
vice president and acting general manager of Adaptec's System Products
Operation. "Now, all PC users -- from the novice to the technically astute
-- can take advantage of SCSI-enabled applications, such as multimedia,
disk array, complex graphics, mobile computing and networking.

"In the past, industry emphasis was on hardware and software. The
importance of the third critical factor in overall PC system performance,
I/O, was often overlooked. Now I/O is more important than ever for system
performance. As an industry leader, Adaptec will continue to be the first
to develop innovative IOware product solutions."

The company will be providing live demonstrations or displays of the
following Adaptec product and solutions at Booth 801:

* Trantor-brand SCSI connection line, which provides desktop and mobile
computer users with the widest range of high-value, low-cost connection to
SCSI peripherals. The Trantor-brand products take advantage of computers'
"alternative" ports: PCMCIA and parallel.

* Adaptec EZ-SCSI 2.0, the latest version of Adaptec's popular easy-to-use
SCSI software. Adaptec EZ-SCSI 2.0 enables PCs equipped with an Adaptec
SCSI host adapter to quickly and easily connect peripherals, including
Photo CD and SCSI-2 CD-ROM drives.

* The AHA-1542C SCSI host adapter, the newest member of Adaptec's AHA line
of high-performance SCSI host adapters. The AHA-1542C features SCSISelect
software that enables a user to configure the host adapter in minutes;
previously, a user would need to spend several hours to manually configure
the host adapter.

* Multimedia, enabled by Adaptec's AHA-1522A ISA-to-SCSI host adapter.
Using the latest CD-ROM drives, the AHA-1522A and Adaptec EZ-SCSI software
create a desktop multimedia environment.

* Data protection and assurance with Adaptec's AHA-1740 EISA-to-Fast SCSI
host adapter and disk array software.

* Mobile-computing I/O, enabled by the AIC-6360 and Adaptec's single-chip
EISA-to Fast SCSI host adapters, AIC-7770.
