Fremont, CA -- February 19, 1996 -- ETC Computer, Inc., announced today
that it has signed a distribution agreement for its line of ViewMagic
specialty monitors with ScanSource, a national value-added distributor to
the POS and bar code industry, based in Greenville, South Carolina. 

The agreement calls for ScanSource to integrate ETC's 9-inch ViewMagic
monitors into point-of-sale (POS) applications in the retail environment.


Mike Baur, president of ScanSource said, 'Specialty monitors in the retail
environment must be sturdy enough to withstand heavy usage, be easy to
read by all users, have a simple screen interface to facilitate multi-user
productivity, and of course be extremely reliable. ETC's ViewMagic
monitors meet all of our expectations.' 

Kent Huang, president of ETC, said, 'Our monitors have the tough
reliability to survive the retail market, yet feature the precise
engineering which allows them to become an essential component in
interactive POS systems, ATM machines, games and light industrial
applications where space is at a premium. We look forward to continuing to
supply ScanSource with quantities of competitively priced ViewMagic
monitors.'

California. ScanSource can be reached at 6 Logue Court, Suite G,
