DATAZone/SLOTDrive, Inc., at PC EXPO

Total Backup in Real Time; Works 4-8 Times Faster Than Tape; Quick and Easy
"fool-Proof" installation Takes Less Than a Minute

NEW YORK, NY, June 29,1993 -- Ranger Plug 'n Go, new line of removable and
transportable IDE hard disk drives for IBM PCs and compatible systems, are
being introduced at PC EXPO '93 by DATAZone/SLOTDrive Technologies, Inc.
The new Ranger Plug 'n' Go disk drives will be displayed and demonstrated
in the DATAZone booth, No. 717, at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.

Ranger Plug 'n' Go' works with all industry-standard PCs to increase the
permanent storage capacity, including PS/2s, laptops, notebooks, 286, 386,
486, and even older PCs without a hard drive. Plug 'n' Go is available in
storage capacities of 85, 120, 170, 213, 245, 340 and 540MB, and can be
easily daisy-chained up to a total of eight units to give a system nearly
4GB of storage capacity.

"The data storage bottleneck has been broken thanks to Ranger Plug 'n' Go,"
said Derek J. Zupancic, president of DATAZone/SLOTDrive and developer of
the new external portable IDE disk drives. 'Now, increasing storage,
regardless of the age of a PC or lack of technical know-how, is as easy as
putting a plug in the wall to have real time backup that can be used with
any PC system."

"Installation is easy and fool-proof, and takes less than a minute,"
Zupancic said. "Plug 'n' Go attaches directly into the parallel port of
the PC, with a pass-through for the printer cable. Installation software,
which is included, handles partitioning and formatting, with no tools
or-technical expertise required, no switches to be set, and no need to
open the computer.

"Plug 'n' Go drives offers ultra-fast parallel transfer at rates 30% faster
than other similar products and is 4 to 8 times faster than tapes for
backing up a system," said Zupancic. 'It makes it fast, easy and
economical to create a back-up system that is easy to live with and hard
to live without. The old excuse that it takes too long and is too
complicated to back-up a system and then store the back-up off-site simply
doesn't stand up any more thanks to Plug 'n' Go.

"Another benefit provided by the portability of Plug 'n' Go, "Zupancic
said, "is that you can take your data -- all your data -- with you. It's
small size (8.8" x 5.1" x 1.5") and weight (1 to 2.2 Ib. depending on disk
capacity) make it easy to carry in a briefcase, either on the road or for
off-site backup security, and it features a rugged, high shock-resistent
case."

Plug 'n' Go offers high quality hard drive mechanisms from leading
manufacturers including Conner, Maxtor, Quantum, Seagate and Western
Digital, have average access times from 9 to 19 ms (depending on the
internal hard drive), a parallel port transfer rate up to 380 kb/sec,
uni/bi-directional data transfer with a printer pass-through for full
printer use. Installation software, a parallel port cable, an AC powerpak,
and a power-saving built-in auto-sleep mode are included, as is a 12-month
warranty for parts and labor. Options include an x-ray proof travel case
and a battery pack.
