Italy's "Applicando" Gives FWB 1994 Class Award

Hammer Brand of High Performance Mass Storage Gamers Continued
International Acclaim

Menlo Park. April 17. 1995 FWB, Inc., today announced that
Applicando--Italy's largest Macintosh publication--has awarded FWB's
Hammer brand of high performance mass storage products with the 1994 Class
Award. End-users throughout Italy voted FWB as having the best quality
hard drives, disk arrays, DAT drives and removable media storage
subsystems for the Macintosh. The award was published in the March issue
of Applicando.

"The 1994 Class Award further demonstrates that FWB is the premier supplier
of mass storage products not only in the U.S. but on a worldwide basis,"
says FWB International Sales Manager Walter Paliska. "We could not have
achieved this without American Dataline (FWB's Italian distributor) who
has been instrumental in helping us deliver to Italian users the type of
quality and performance that has made FWB successful in the states."

The Class Award is a people's choice award voted upon by the readership of
Applicando. Applicando is Italy's premier Macintosh publication. FWB was
the only mass storage subsystem provider nominated for the 1994 Class
Award. Other nominees included drive manufacturers such as SyQuest and
Fujitsu.

The 1994 Class Award adds to FWB's list of worldwide industry acclaim.
FWB's SledgeHammer disk arrays earned Germany's coveted MacUp Meilenstein
in 1993 for mass storage, and Macwelt (Macworld Germany) awarded Hard Disk
ToolKit their 1993 Editors' Choice award. In the U.S., recent awards
include AV Video Magazine's 1995 Platinum Award for New Age Video Mass
Storage (SledgeHammer Wide and SledgeHammer II disk arrays), and MacUser's
1994 Eddy Award for Best New Storage System (Finalist, SledgeHammer3500FMF
II).

Since 1984, FWB, Inc. has been developing mass storage and backup products
specifically for the Macintosh platform, including the Apple PowerBook,
the Apple Workgroup Server and the Power Macintosh. FWB products include
SledgeHammer RAID Arrays; Hammer, Hammer-PE, PocketHammer and HammerPB
hard drives; HammerDisk optical and removable drives; HammerTape and
HammerDAT tape backup systems; and the SCSI JackHammer SCSI-2 accelerator
board. FWB also publishes RAID ToolKit, Hard Disk ToolKit, Hard Disk
ToolKit-Personal Edition disk management software, and CD-ROM ToolKit
accelerator software for CD-ROM drives. FWB's products have been
consistently rated the best in their class by publications such as
MacWEEK, MacUser, Macworld, AV Video Magazine, PC Magazine, and BYTE.
FWB's PremiumService has won the "Best Technical Support" award from The
Macintosh Consultants Network. Inc. Magazine ranked FWB on the Inc. 500
list of fastest growing privately held companies in both 1993 and 1994.
