TEXAS MICRO RELEASES MOTHERBOARD AND PASSIVE BACKPLANE VALUEPRO SYSTEMS

Provides low cost solutions for harsh office environment

HOUSTON, TX, JUNE 12 -- Texas Microsystems today introduced their new
ValuePro systems, available with motherboard or passive backplane
architectures. Well-suited to critical application environments such as
those found in warehouses, loading docks, wiring closets and
telecommunications settings, the systems are available in both rackmount
and tabletop form factors.

"The ValuePro systems are designed to bridge the gap between office PCs and
ruggedized industrial PCs," said Rex Zerger, Senior Vice President. "There
are many applications such as communications, network servers,
test/measurement, where the environment is well controlled and
rackmounting is the desired installation. ValuePro systems are the ideal
and economical solution for these situations."

The motherboard-based ValuePro is the lowest cost solution, offering a
processor range from a 33MHz 80486SX to a 90MHz Pentium. Passive backplane
ValuePros offer high system availability, with all processor and control
circuitry on a single plug-in CPU card. Upgrading and maintenance can be
accomplished without disassembling the system completely.

Compatible with ISA and PCI bus standards, a Texas Micro ValuePro system
consists of a chassis, power supply, and motherboard or 8-slot passive
backplane, and an L-Series CPU card. Optional memory, adapters, and
peripherals purchased with the systems are fully integrated and tested.
ValuePro motherboard systems range in price from $845 to $2,050, depending
upon the CPU card selected. Passive backplane ValuePros prices range from
$950 to $1,250. Prices are the same for a rackmount or tabletop version of
the same model.
