DPT Reduces SmartCache Plus Controller Pricing

November 1, 1992 -- Maitland, Florida - Distributed Processing Technology
(DPT) today announced a 10 percent price reduction for its SmartCache Plus
EISA/SCSI disk controller, effective immediately.

The new U.S. list pricing for the SmartCache Plus controller is $640 for
Model SK2012B/90 and $695 for Model SK2012B/95, which includes a floppy
controller. The new international list prices are $765 for Model
SK2012B/90 and $830 for Model SK2012B/95.

"This price reduction further positions DPT to compete even more
effectively against lower-end peripheral controllers," says Al Montross,
DPT's vice president of sales and marketing. "We've made the buying
decision much easier for our customers: Buy DPT for about the same price
as the competition and get a faster board to start, plus something the
competition does not offer -- the ability to add disk caching and disk
array support as needed."

The SmartCache Plus SCSI controller for the 32-bit EISA bus offers a
"grow-as-you-go" design that allows users to build upon the controller's
power to meet their expanding business needs.

The entry-level SmartCache Plus can easily be converted to a high-end
caching controller for faster performance simply by adding DPT's unique
plug-on caching module and up to 16 megabytes of cache RAM to the base
controller. An add-on mirroring module provides fault tolerance support
over multiple mirrored drives.

The scalable architecture of the SmartCache Plus offers price/performance
options suitable for systems ranging from standalone workstations and
small networks to large multiprocessor-equipped file servers and multiuser
systems. Computer manufacturers such as AST, Dell, NCR, NEC, Intel,
Siemens, Wang and Wyse have all standardized on SmartCache Plus.

Neal Nelson and Associates, specialists in system performance testing,
selected the SmartCache Plus EISA/SCSI controller as a winning component
for "The World's Most Powerful PC," which was demonstrated at the recent
UNIX EXPO show in New York. The SmartCache Plus was chosen over other SCSI
adapters because of its superior performance in UNIX environments.

DPT is a leading supplier of high performance peripheral controllers and
connectivity software for microcomputers. Its technology includes the
first caching disk controller for the PC. DPT controllers are sold
worldwide through a network of major distributors and OEMs. The privately
held company, founded in 1977, is based near Orlando, Florida, with
European sales offices located near London, England, and Munich, Germany,
and a government sales office in Annapolis, Maryland.
