NEW MAC-COMPATIBLE PC CARDS ARE "APPLE" OF EPSON'S EYE

EPSON's PCMCIA "Mac Cards" Provide Mobile Solution To Apple PowerBook
Users

TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 8, 1996 -- EPSON, a premier provider of cross
platform mobile computing solutions, today launched the EPSON Mac Card
Family, a group of PCMCIA card hard drives and fax/modems for Apple
PowerBooks. A leader in the Macintosh mobile market, EPSON Mac Cards are
compatible with Apple Macintosh PowerBooks ranging from the 500 series to
the most recent introductions, the 190, 2300 and 5300 series.

"The EPSON Mac Card Family provides users with the complete mobile solution
they demand, at a price point that is hard to beat," said Mark Warlick,
assistant marketing manager, PCMCIA card products, EPSON. "We also address
a number of applications that are critical for Mac users. For example, our
extensive line of hard disk drives provides the graphic arts market the
ability to transfer large data files securely and easily."

The Mac Cards currently available through authorized retailers are:

   14.4Kbps cellular fax/modem
   14.4Kbps XJack fax/modem
   14.4Kbps standard fax/modem
   170MB hard drive
   260MB hard drive

Earlier this month, EPSON announced two new additions to the Mac Card
Family, a 28.8Kbps XJack fax/modem and a 340MB hard disk drive; both will
be available in mid-January. The fax/modem cards comply with all major
fax/modem specifications and include Macintosh fax software.

The Mac Card Family is covered by EPSON's "compatibility guarantee" like
all EPSON cards purchased through retail channels. Under this money-back
guarantee program, if an EPSON card is not 100 percent compatible with the
end user's system after driver and software installation, EPSON retailers
will fully refund the purchase price of the card. Additionally, EPSON
offers an exclusive Data Recovery Program (DRoP) for recapturing valuable
data in case of severe damage to any hard disk drive card. With this
program, users can have their data retrieved for a $69.95 service fee. All
EPSON cards are covered by EPSON's standard two-year limited warranty,
with an additional year provided upon return of the registration card, and
come standard with Card and Socket Services.

laser and dot matrix printers, scanners, portable and desktop computers,
