NEW YORK, June 23, 1992 -- Fast operation and rewritable ISO compatible
media are two key features of the JY-7000, a magneto optical disk drive
from Sharp Electronics Corporation being highlighted at PC EXPO.

Sharp's JY-7000, a compact 5.25" drive, boasts one of the fastest access
times at 60ms and a large 652MB memory capacity. One million read and
write cycles also allow for repeated erasing and rewriting.

"The JY-7000 will prove to be one of most efficient and versatile optical
disk drives in today's competitive hardware marketplace," says Andrew
Bernstein, senior product manager, Copier and Imaging Systems Division.
"With a drive that is 16-60ms faster than the competition, the JY-7000 is
the ideal choice for large storage users."

Applications for the JY-7000 include:

. Graphics Image Storage -- Fast access means images can be stored and
retrieved with little delay.

. Secondary Storage -- JY-7000 can be used as additional storage in
conjunction with a hard drive.

. Data Security/Removable Media -- Media can be stored in a safe place when
not in use.

. Automated Libraries -- Very large capacity can be achieved by use of a
magneto optical drive.

. Data Archival -- Use the JY-7000 to back up hard drive or provide a long
term storage solution.

. File Server Mass Storage -- Connected to a file server, the JY-7000
allows many users to share mass storage.

Sharp offers the following software and interfaces:

. The JY-7000 can be connected to the IBM PC and compatibles, MAC and Sun
SparcStations via its internal SCSI interface. Available hardware includes
8-bit AT slot, 16-bit AT slot and MCA cards.

. Sun SparcStations have software support built into the operating systems
for the JY-7000.

. Software drivers available from Sharp include MAC, IBM, Novell, OS/2 and
Xenix.
