CONNER TARGETS RESELLER CHANNELS WITH DISK-STOR LINE OF HARD DISK DRIVES

LAKE MARY, FLA, May 19, 1993 -- Conner Distribution Products Group,
formerly Maynard Electronics, a unit of Conner Peripherals, Inc. (NYSE:
CNR), today introduced its Disk-Stor line of high performance 3.5-inch
hard disk drives for reseller channels, designed to reach a broad market
of business and home PC users. Combined with its recently introduced
Tape-Stor line of tape storage products, software and accessories, the
Disk-Stor line represents one of the most complete solutions for the
demanding storage needs of Windows, multimedia, database and graphics
applications.

The Disk-Stor line consists of six disk drives, ranging in capacity from 85
megabytes (MB) to 250MB, to meet a broad array of end-user needs and
budget requirements. Disk-Stor drives combine some of the most advanced
technology available with Conner's worldwide reputation for quality and
performance earned as a premier drive supplier to the world's leading
computer manufacturers. In addition, Conner provides one of the most
comprehensive support programs in the industry with available
round-the-clock "24 x 7" technical support and 48-hour turnaround on
repairs under warranty.

"Conner's market initiative is one of the most comprehensive in the
computer storage industry," said Patrick Sullivan, vice president of
distribution channel management for Conner. "It provides a broad array of
products to meet a wide range of user needs and price points. What's more,
the reseller selling disk drives is dealing with qualified buyers who
clearly value their data and are strong prospects for purchasing tape
backup drives as well."
