Digital Eclipse Announces First Shippable PowerBook Accelerator:  The
F/25X.

Emeryville, California - February 9, 1994 -- Digital Eclipse announced the
release today of the F/25Xx, the first shippable accelerator for Apple's
PowerBook line.  The F/25X works exclusively with the PowerBook 140 and
145. Owners of these PowerBook models will no longer have to ship their
PowerBooks to Digital Eclipse for installation of F/25 and FPU upgrades.

The F/25X increases CPU speed from 16 MHz to 25 MHz and includes a Floating
Point Unit (FPU) that increases the speed of math computations by hundreds
of times.  Users can expect close to 80% performance enhancement.  The
F/25X effectively converts the PowerBook 140 and 145 into a PowerBook 170
(without the active matrix screen).

Until now, PowerBook owners had to do without their PowerBooks while they
were being upgraded.  The elimination of this inconvenience is seen as a
major step forward for end users who want greater performance from their
PowerBooks.  "Corporate sites and small businesses alike found it
difficult to give up their PowerBooks for even a couple of days.  This
eliminates that problem," said a spokesperson for Digital Eclipse.

The F/25X replaces the original daugtercard of either a PowerBook 140 or
145. End users simply have a qualified technician replace the original
logic board with the F/25X.  The new upgrade program requires that
customers return their old logic boards to Digital Eclipse.  As with all
of Digital Eclipse's PowerBook accelerators, upgraded PowerBooks are 100%
hardware and software compatible.  The upgraded logic board comes with a
full one year warranty. The F/25X lists for $399, however, Digital Eclipse
is offering an introductory price of $299 through March 11, 1994. To order
the F/25X call Digital Eclipse at (800) 289-3374.
