Olicom introduces Ethernet PCMCIA adapter for the rapidly growing mobile
computer market

June 28, 1994, PC Expo, New York, NY--Olicom, a leading provider of network
solutions, today introduced a card to connect notebook PCs and other
computers supporting PCMCIA to Ethernet networks. By providing Ethernet
connectivity, the EtherCom PCMCIA card gives mobile computer users full
LAN benefits including access to client-server applications, printer
sharing and data and software retrieval from servers. Based on the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
standards, the EtherCom PCMCIA features Olicom's high-performance drivers
and a limited memory consumption.

Mobile computers represent the fastest growing segment of the computer
industry, and PCMCIA is the evolving adapter interface standard for
notebooks, notepads, palmtops and other mobile computers. Dataquest
estimates that 1995 shipments of notebooks and pentops will top 10 million
units, with handhelds growing at 108 percent annually and pen-based units
growing at 174 percent annually over the next three years. To address this
growing consumer demand, Olicom has added the EtherCom PCMCIA card to its
product line. Olicom also offers a PCMCIA card for 4 or 16 Mbps Token Ring
networks.

"Olicom is committed to deliver a full range of high-end networking
products. The EtherCom PCMCIA adapter will meet our customers'
requirements for a powerful card to connect mobile computers to their
networks," said Max Jensen, president and CEO of Olicom USA, Inc.

Easy Installation

The EtherCom PCMCIA card comes with a standard installation package and
instructions to make installation easy even for those with minimal
technical expertise. All major card and socket services are supported, and
Olicom has certified the majority of PCMCIA supporting computers currently
available. The card installs easily into the PCMCIA socket of the
computer. Users can then select the high performance Olicom drivers from
the installation utilities to connect the notebook to the network.

To ensure trouble-free installation and operation, users can reach Olicom
customer service and technical support 24 hours a day via Olicom's

The EtherCom PCMCIA card interfaces with all standard notebooks, laptops,
palmtops and desktops supporting PCMCIA standards and comes in versions
supporting UTP only or UTP and Coax cabling systems. The EtherCom PCMCIA
card complies with the PCMCIA revision 2.0 specification and the
