GREYSTONE'S NEW OUTBACK READER/WRITER HOLDS TWO PC CARDS

$99 Rear-Loading Unit Links Desktop/Mobile PCs; Supports Two Type II or One
Type III PC Cards

Los Gatos, CA -- August 14, 1995 -- Graystone Peripherals, Inc., the leader
in affordable PC Card accessories and software duplication systems,
introduced today the new two-slot OutBack model of its popular CardDock
family of universal PC Card reader/writers.

The unit mounts internally at the rear of desktop PCs, and accommodates two
Type II cards or one Type III card. The two-slot Model 120 OutBack is
available now at a suggested list price of $99. OEM quantities are
available as low as $59.

"By customer demand, we've doubled the slots on the OutBack to increase its
flexibility as a low-cost, entry level unit designed for those users eager
to use and understand PC Card technology before buying expensive high-end
products," said John Usher, president of Greystone Peripherals.

OutBack is Greystone's lowest-cost internal unit, enabling full
interchangeability of PC Cards for the sharing of peripherals, updating
and correcting files and modifying and loading software on PC Cards
between desktop and mobile PC platforms.

Greystone's OutBack mounts easily into a 16-bit ISA AT slot on the rear of
the PC. OutBack is fully compliant with PCMCIA version 2.0 specifications
for memory and I/O cards and Intel ExCA specifications. The double-socket
OutBack enables easy plug-and-play of any memory, ATA and I/O PC cards
designed to PCMCIA specifications. The CardDock is a totally compatible
solution for reading and writing data, and the exchange of data files and
peripheral I/O functions between mobile and desktop PCs using PC Cards.
The unit is also fully DOS- and Windows-compatible.

OutBack software manages system resources with easy-to-use menus, and
includes DOS- and Windows-compatible PCMCIA Card Services and Socket
Services software for configuring the system and each PC Card, managing
I/O ports, interrupt levels and memory blocks. PC Cards can be moved
between systems, one slot to another, without identification conflicts, as
portable and reliable as a floppy diskette.

Each turnkey OutBack unit includes a PC interface card and software, and
easily installs into any 16-bit AT-bus slot. The unit's low-profile allows
maximum air flow for smaller desktop PCs.

Greystone's Model GS-120 OutBack reader/writer is available immediately at
a suggested list price of $99, with OEM volume quantities available as low
as $59. The sister one-slot version, the sister one-slot version, the
Model 110 OutBack, has an SRP of $85, with OEM pricing as low as $49. The
OutBack is warranted for one year. OutBack units are distributed to
dealers, VARs/VADs and OEMs in the U.S.
