VERBATIM OFFERS 230MB CAPACITY 3.5-INCH OPTICAL DISKS
Disks Provide Storage Equivalent To 165 Floppies

AIIM BOOTH #3620, NEW YORK CITY, APRIL 19, 1994  - Verbatim Corporation,
the world's leading seller of optical and floppy disks, introduces 230MB
3.5-inch rewritable optical disks, providing the user with high-capacity
desktop storage that is cost-efficient, removable, portable and easily
secured.  

"We were first to introduce 128MB 3.5-inch rewritable optical disks, and
now Verbatim leads the way in development of the latest generation of
rewritable optical technology," says Jim Somers, optical products engineer
at Verbatim Corporation. 

"Providing the user with the storage equivalency of 165 high density floppy
disks, these rewritable optical disks meet ECMA and draft ISO standards
and are fully compatible with new generation drives made by Fujitsu, IBM,
Olympus and Panasonic.  The new drives are downward compatible for both
write and read of existing 128MB rewritable disks."

Verbatim 230MB optical disks offer the storage capacity and high
performance necessary for hard drive backup, multimedia and LAN
applications, and provide an excellent vehicle for data distribution. 
They give users a lower per megabyte cost of data storage, as well as more
ease in handling large files.

Additionally, optical media, with its high storage capacity and random
accessibility, is perfect for storage of text and graphics, engineering
drawings, digitized X-rays and scans and audio information.

"We have worked very closely with top drive manufacturers in developing
this technology and our April shipping date coincides with expected drive
availability," says Somers.

Verbatim Corporation is the world's leading seller of floppy and optical
disks, as well as the fastest-growing data cartridge company.  It offers
4mm and 8mm data cartridges, reel tape, rewritable and write-once optical
disks, as well as a complete line of flash and SRAM memory cards.  Founded
in 1969, Verbatim has provided your best defense against data loss for 25
years.
