AXONIX INTRODUCES PORTABLE CD-ROM DRIVE

"ProMedia Reader" Features Small Size, Low Cost & Multimedia Upgrade

SALT LAKE CITY, UT--Axonix Corporation is set to ship the ProMedia Reader,
a low-cost, easy-to-install CD-ROM drive for laptops and notebooks.

Weighing less than 1-1/2 pounds and measuring 6" x 7", the ProMedia Reader
is the smallest peripheral of its kind on the market and is ideal for the
mobile user who needs to access phone books, product indexes or databases
on CD-ROM. The dual-speed, MPC Level 2 CDROM drive features a "plug 'n go"
PCMCIA Type 2 socket for easy connection to all leading portable
computers. Intelligent auto-install software eliminates hardware setup and
keeps the slot live when switching to other PCMCIA peripherals.

The product also features an audio headphone jack that allows playback of
CD audio disks, a transfer rate of 300 KB/sec or 1.5 MB/sec. burst, and an
access time averaging less than 320 milliseconds.

For users who want a multimedia upgrade path, the ProMedia Reader also
offers the option of adding the ProMedia sound module, a 16-bit advanced
sound system with 4-watt amplified sound that is available separately.
With the sound module, ProMedia owners can do multimedia presentations,
training or even play games on their portables.

Estimated street price is $299. The product is available direct from Axonix
at (800) 8669797 and from select dealers.
