EXP Computer, Inc. Introduces A New Six Speed CD-ROM Kit with PC Card
Interface For Notebook Computers

HIGH PERFORMANCE 6X VERSION FOLLOWS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL QUAD SPEED MODEL

SYOSSET, NEW YORK, APRIL 1, 1996---EXP Computer, Inc. today announced its
portable and lightweight Six-Speed PCMCIA CD-ROM Kit for notebook
computers. The CD-621, as it is called, is the latest addition to EXP's
line of high speed CD-ROM drives for mobile computers. EXP is the industry
leader in providing the latest multimedia technology for notebook computer
users.

The CD-621 kit consists of a high performance, six speed CD-ROM drive
connected to a proprietary PCMCIA Type I card interface. This CD- ROM
"kit" enables notebook users with a PC Card slot to have a CD- ROM drive
with the fastest access time on the market. The CD-621 is operated either
by A/C power, (adapter included) or by eight (8) AA batteries.

Installing the CD-621 is a breeze. Included is an installation disk and
instruction manual which allows for quick and easy installation under
DOS/Windows environments. In most situations the installation is not
needed as the CD-621 is compatible with all PC Card (PCMCIA/JEIDA) Card
and Socket Service device drivers which are found in most notebook
computers. Also, the CD-621 is "plug and play" with Windows 95 and doesn't
require any software driver for installation. The same is true for running
under OS/2.

The CD-621 CD-ROM drive has a motorized front tray loading system,
headphone jacks and volume control. It is intended to complete the
multimedia solution for notebook computers which have 16 bit stereo sound
built-in. However, the CD-621 will also work with most notebook computers
which are equipped with a PC Card (PCMCIA/JEIDA) Type I, II, or III slot,,
regardless of their sound capability as the CD- 621 is also compatible and
may be used in conjunction with other PCMCIA sound cards and parallel port
sound solutions.

The CD-621 is lightweight at only 3.1 lbs. and the footprint of the unit is
a very small 6.46" x 1.95" x 9.76". These features, plus the high
performance 6X speed make this unit a very attractive add- on accessory
for those notebook users who demand the fastest CD-ROM capability while on
the road.

The CD-621 meets MPC Level 1 and 2 specifications and is compatible with
Compact Disc standards CD-Mode 1 and 2, Multi session Photo CD, CD-XA and
CD-Audio. The data capacity is 600M bytes, the average seek time is 195ms
and the data transfer rate is 900KB/sec.

The CD-621 will be shipping at the end of the month and will be available
