Data General Co-Sponsors Historical UniForum Exhibit Highlighting Major
Industry Technology Transitions

Virtual Exhibit Available on the Web

Westboro, Mass., February 13, 1996 -- Data General Corporation is
co-sponsoring an exhibit with the Intel Museum and the Computer Museum at
this year's UniForum'96 in San Francisco that highlights major historical
technology shifts in the computer industry.

The exhibit, entitled "Generations," will be on display in Moscone Center's
South Hall, booth #2416. "Generations" was previously shown at the Fall
1995 COMDEX trade show and received much public acclaim.

The collection features original hardware to chronicle the history of the
industry. Such notable machines as an IBM 360, a PDP-8 and VAX 11/780 from
Digital Equipment Corporation, Data General's NOVA, a Xerox Alto, an MITS
Altair 8800, Osborne 1, Apple II, an early Compaq Transportable, and a Sun
workstation highlight "building block" transitions from transistors to
integrated circuits to microprocessors, and now to Standard High-Volume
(SHV) servers.

As an example of this new system building block, the exhibit includes Data
General AViiON SMP systems based on Intel Pentium Pro SHV server boards.

In late 1996, Data General will introduce scalable, high-end systems built
from multiple SHV boards using the Cache Coherent Non-Uniform Memory
Access (ccNUMA) architecture and linked with the high-speed,
industry-standard Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI) interconnect. These
large-scale servers will bring processing power and price/performance
undreamed of in previous eras to thousands of today's enterprise SMP
applications.
