(Gainesville, FL -- June 23, 1992) Barr Systems, Inc. has introduced a
fully integrated solution for nine-track and cartridge tape transmission
between a PC and a mainframe. Barr Systems' magnetic tape solutions are
made for use with its mainframe communications products. Each package
includes integrated communications software, a desktop tape drive unit, a
SCSI adapter, and cables. There are three models available: TAPE/3480,
TAPE/6250, and TAPE/1600. All three packages use the SCSI interface for
high-speed PC transfer. They are menu-driven, and feature built-in
diagnostics for the tape drive and controller.

President Tony Barr stated, "Although our products have supported
third-party tape drives since 1988, we found that we could save our
customers time and money by providing a fully-integrated package." The
Barr tape solutions eliminate the guesswork involved in configuring a tape
system. Customers no longer need to determine whose device drivers and
communications products will work with which drives and adapters. Should
there be any problems, there is only one number to call for support. This
eliminates finger-pointing, and enhances total system reliability.

The TAPE/3480 package uses an 1 8-track cartridge tape compatible with the
IBM 3480. The drive stores up to 200 Megabytes per cartridge tape. With an
optional 1 0-cartridge auto-loader, it can store up to 2.0 Gigabytes.
TAPE/3480 is priced at $16,190.

The TAPE/6250 package is a nine-track, auto-loading tape system that stores
up to 255 Megabytes per tape. It supports densities of 6250, 3200, 1600,
and 800 bits per inch. TAPE/6250 is priced at $12,190.

The TAPE/1600 is a low-cost nine-track tape package that stores up to 130
Megabytes per tape. It supports the standard data interchange density of
1600 bits per inch. The drive also supports densities of 3200, and 800
bpi. It is fully autoloading and is priced at $9,190.

Barr Systems, Inc. offers a complete line of PC-based solutions for remote
printing, 3270 emulation and file transfer.
