SMART MODULAR'S PC CARD PROVIDES DATA TRANSFER CAPABILITIES BETWEEN HP 100
& 200 LX PALMTOPS & NOTEBOOKS, SUB-NOTEBOOKS & DESKTOP COMPUTERS

SMART Modular Ships DOS Drivers With ST1424 Fax/Modem/Memory PC Card

FREMONT, CA --June 2, 1995 -- Smart Modular Technologies, Inc., (SMART)
today announced it is shipping DOS Drivers with its ST1424
fax/modem/memory PC card for the HP 100 and 200 LX palmtop. The ST1424 is
designed to give HP palmtop users full-size computer capabilities not
previously available to LX users. The combination memory and
communications card allows users to send, store, receive and print faxes
and data files without having to swap cards. The inclusion of the DOS
Drivers means now HP 100 & 200 LX palmtop owners can use the memory
portion of the ST1424 to transport data from their palmtop to a notebook,
laptop or even desktop computer. SMART's ST1424 combines a fax/modem
(14,400/9,600 bps fax send/receive and 2,400 bps modem functions) with 4MB
or 6MB of FLASH memory.

"SMART has found it can add capabilities to our multifunction
fax/modem/memory card and in doing so give our users greater flexibility
and convenience in transferring data to and from their palmtop computers,"
said Ajay Shah president of SMART Modular Technologies. "We consistently
strive to produce value-added products that solve problems users
experience in their everyday use of their computer equipment."

SMART now includes with the ST1424 a special installation program that
determines if the appropriate PC Card drivers are currently loaded on the
user's machine. If the drivers are loaded the installation program updates
the user's CONFIG.SYS file. A FLASH memory driver is loaded and the memory
portion of the ST1424 is available to be used as a hard disk drive. If the
drivers are not loaded the user performs an additional installation step.
Once this step is completed, data transfer capabilities between the HP 100
or 200 LX and a user's notebook, sub-notebook or desktop computer, as well
as the use of the FLASH portion of the card as a hard disk drive, are
available. An overriding benefit of the ST1424 with the new DOS Drivers is
that it allows for the synchronizing and updating of user's files between
the user's HP palmtop and their notebook, subnotebook or desktop machine.

The SMART ST1424 fax/modem/memory PC card is immediately available. With
4MB of memory the ST1424 has a suggest retail price of $399, with 6MB
memory the card has a suggested retail of $449.
