SYQUEST ANNOUNCES AN OEM AGREEMENT WITH APPLE FOR SYQUEST INTERNAL EZ135
DRIVES

San Francisco, CA (January 9, 1996) Today at Macworld Expo, SyQuest
Technology (SYQT-NASDAQ) and Apple Computer Australia announce an OEM
partnership designed to serve the needs of professional publishers.

Apple is launching models of its high performance 8500 and 9500 personal
computers pre-configured specifically to the needs of publishing
professionals. Among the high performance peripherals built into these
computers will be the SyQuest EZ135 internal drive.

"Incorporating the removable storage technology of SyQuest, combined with
the most powerful personal computers available -- the Power Macintosh 8500
and 9500 -- is a major part of Apple's new value add strategy for markets
such as publishing," said Graham Barr, marketing manager, Apple Solutions,
Apple Computer Australia.

"SyQuest drives are a popular disk accessory for Apple users. They deliver
high capacity, high performance, and an upgrade path which meets the
requirements of the market," according to Barr.

"We see a definate need for Apple to provide an increased storage option to
our customer base. This agreement between Apple Computer Australia and
SyQuest Technology means professional publishers and media experts can
utilize far greater volumes of multiple media types -- such as still
images, video, animation, Web pages, published documents and sound --
faster," added Barr.

Meyer Mussry, regional manager, Australia and New Zealand for SyQuest
Technology said, "By employing Winchester technology, SyQuest's superior
removable cartridge drive offers the ideal solution for Apple and its
customers. Its hard disk performance provides continuing efficiencies to
users, and sets the Macintosh computer a class above other brands for
larger capacity data input, exchange, and backup. It will also assist
users storing files downloaded off the Internet, those handling imaging or
publishing files, users needing file management facilities and those
needing expansion hard disk storage."
