PENTIUM NOTEBOOK COMPUTER

SANTA ANA, California (June 12, 1995)--Simple Technology, Inc. today
announced the availability of memory upgrades for AST's new Ascentia 950N
Pentium notebook computer. Simple Technology is currently the only
third-party memory manufacturer to carry upgrades for the new Ascentia
950N.

"We recognize that having memory upgrades immediately available is
important, because sometimes resellers don't get a second chance to make
an upgrade sale. Because of our commitment to providing first-to-market
memory upgrades for new system introductions, our resellers and
distributors can rely on us to have products when they need them, " stated
Mike Moshayedi, president of Simple Technology, Inc.

The Ascentia 950N, which is expected to begin shipping this week, has
powerful features and capabilities, including a 75MHz Pentium processor,
10.4 inch high-resolution screen, a range of hard disk options and
multimedia capabilities. The Ascentia 950N comes with 8 megabytes (MB)
standard memory and has two expansion slots for up to 40MB total memory
capacity. Simple Technology is currently offering 8 and 16MB upgrades for
the Ascentia 950N. The upgrades are encased in a credit-card enclosure
that provides durability and easy, error-free installation.

"Today's mobile users often require additional memory to increase system
performance and run memory-intensive applications. We are pleased to be
the first third-party memory vendor to offer upgrade products for the new
AST Ascentia 950N," Moshayedi commented.

Simple Technology also offers a complete line of PC Card products that are
compatible with the new Ascentia 950N. These PC Card products include
data/fax modems, SCSI and Ethernet adapters, and removable hard drives.
The PC Cards offer true plug n' play compatibility for the Ascentia 950N,
and come complete with software, user's guide and simple installation
instructions. Simple Technology's PC Card products come with a one to five
year warranty.
