Trantor Systems Introduces SlimSCSI 
The First High-Performance PCMCIA-to-SCSI Adapter for the Laptop Market

Fremont, CA, March 15, 1993 - Trantor Systems Ltd., an Adaptec Company,
today announced its new high-performance, 16-bit PCMClA-to-SCSI Host
Adapter, called SlimSCSI. The product provides a simple, quick connection
to SCSI devices through the PCMCIA Type II slot available on many new
notebook and laptop computers.

SlimSCSI builds on Trantor's 11 years of success in the SCSI connections
market. With the included Trantor application software SlimSCSI provides
support for magneto-optical, floptical, SyQuest, Bernoulli and external
hard drives, CD-ROMs, HP ScanJet scanners and SCSI tape drives.

SlimSCSI conforms with Release 2.0 of the Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association (PCMCIA) specification. At 2.0 MB/sec, its
performance is comparable to that of many 16-bit ISA-bus SCSI adapters.

Trantor created a two-piece design for SlimSCSI that allows users to leave
the product in place in the PCMCIA slot and remove only the external
connector and cable for carrying convenience. SlimSCSI measures only 3.4
inches in length and 2.1 inches in width - about the size of a credit
card, and the cable connector is reversible for maximum flexibility in
routing the cable assembly.

SlimSCSI features Trantor's proprietary ASIC controller and configurable
I/O-mapped address settings. The suggested retail price of SlimSCSI is
$349.00 - shipments are scheduled to begin in June.

Trantor is a premier supplier of SCSI interface products worldwide for the
CD-ROM industry and a leader in the general SCSI interface market,
supplying products to the IBM-compatible, laptop and Apple Macintosh
markets. Trantor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adaptec, Inc. and is
located in Fremont, California.
