SyDOS ANNOUNCES HIGH PERFORMANCE 3.5-INCH 270 MEGABYTE REMOVABLE CARTRIDGE
DISK DRIVES

Faster, More Cost Effective and Higher Capacity than Ever Before

BOCA RATON, FL (March 18, 1994) SyDOS, a division of SyQuest Technology and
leader in the removable storage industry, introduced today their 270MB
product line featuring the MARLIN 270i, MARLIN 270e and PUMA 270,
high-performance 3.5" 270MB removable cartridge disk drives.

Based on SyQuest's proven technology, all SyDOS 270MB Series drives utilize
the same reliable industry-standard Winchester technology found in all
fixed disk drives. The new SyDOS 270MB removable cartridge disk drives
perform like a fixed hard drive with performance capabilities superior to
optical drives and significantly less expensive. The subsystems can be
used with virtually any DOS- or Windows-based desktop, laptop or notebook
PC.

Linda Haury, vice president of marketing notes, "With the fast 13.5 msec
average seek time, and large storage capacity of 270MB, these drives offer
users over twice the capacity of 128MB magneto-opticals (MO's), are less
expensive and faster than MO's and are ideal for applications that require
high-performance storage solutions."

Variety of Applications and Uses

The new 270MB drives, as with other SyDOS drives, can be used in a variety
of applications such as storing large data files, financial/accounting
records, personnel files, sales lead data bases, entertainment and
educational programs as well as any software program that consumes large
amounts of storage space. Large files and data bases are easily managed by
storing each on its own cartridge and SyDOS' removability feature allows
data to be organized by client, job task, topic or any other method of
choice.

The user can store programs or files on separate cartridges, making it easy
to organize their work by project, application or by individual users. In
addition, SyDOS removable cartridges are ideal for those applications
where security and confidentiality are important. The 270MB SyDOS
removable cartridge disk drive is read/write compatible with both 105 and
270MB cartridges.

Provides Unlimited Storage and Backup Capacity

"It's the increased megabyte capacity and 3.5" drive size that makes this
drive an excellent storage solution. The SyDOS 270MB drives are a prime
example of providing cost-effective storage solutions for the increased
demands of the market," adds Haury. Users have an ideal solution for
unlimited data storage and highspeed backup as well as data
transportability, security and data archiving. With the growing demand for
more and more storage, removable drives offer an ideal, inexpensive
solution for small business and home office users. Unlimited storage and a
variety of applications are available to the user by merely inserting
another SyQuest 270MB cartridge.

Competitively Priced

With an estimated street price of $500 to $700 for the SyDOS 270MB drives,
and additional SyQuest 270MB cartridges estimated to run less than $100,
the SyDOS 270MB Drives provide users an excellent value to meet their
storage requirements while offering unlimited storage capability. All
SyDOS 270MB Drives come complete with the drive, a SyQuest 270MB data
cartridge, installation software, cables, and step-by-step instructions
for quick, easy installation. In addition, SyDOS backs its promise of
reliability with the best warranty in the industry: a two-year warranty on
the drive and a five-year warranty on the cartridge.
