Santa Ana, CA..At a time when personal computer users are asking whether
they should buy now, or wait for future, more advanced, technology later,
Micro Express announces the computer that you can buy now and easily
change later...the MicroFLEX. MicroFLEX is not just a computer, but rather
a new marketing concept for PCs. A single basic motherboard provides a
very high level of performance at speeds of from 25 MHz all the way up to
66 MHz. This board is packaged with a 200-W power supply, case, both
1.2-MB 5-1/4" and 1.44-MB 3-1/2" floppy disk drives and a selection of
optional keyboards. To the basic board you can add your cpu (central
processing unit or microprocessor) of choice...from a 386DX33 all the way
up to a 486DX2-66. If you want RAM caching, you select either 64K or 256K
of direct-mapped cache. The cache controller is already on the board. In
other words, pick your cpu and your cache and MicroFLEX becomes the "HAVE
IT YOUR WAY" PC.

If you want to change the cpu or the amount of RAM cache in the future, you
simply call Micro Express, tell them which cpu you want to switch to and
Micro Express will trade you the new one for the old one, charging you
only the difference in the fair market value of the two cpu's on the day
you make the trade. The same policy holds for upgrading RAM cache. Even
cpu brand names are optional. If you want your cpu from Intel, Advanced
Micro Devices or Cyrix, they all work in the MicroFLEX. You install the
cpu in a socket, plug in a new clock crystal if required, and start to
operate your new PC.

Naturally, you can also select the graphics card, monitor, hard disk drive
capacity, and a host of other options so that your computer is a
no-compromise selection.

Finally, MicroFLEX is very affordable. For example, a typical system might
have a 33-MHz 386DX cpu, 4-MB of RAM, a 120-MB hard disk, super VGA color
graphics card and monitor, 64K of RAM cache, a mouse, DOS 5.0 and Windows
3.1. This popular system configuration costs only $1459.

At the high end, a system with the new 66-MHz 486DX2, 8-MB of RAM, a 1.2-GB
hard disk drive, super VGA color graphics card and monitor, 256K of RAM
cache, a mouse, DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 still costs only $5495.

Designed For Performance And Flexibility

Everything about the MicroFLEX is designed for performance...from the
highest quality components to the zero wait-state, page-mode memory
architecture. Most of the electronics are housed in a VLSI custom chip
set. Memory is fast and expandable, from 4-MB up to 32MB on the
motherboard.

For flexibility and expansion, the MicroFLEX offers 8 full 16-bit expansion
slots, and 5 diskdrive bays. The BIOS is by AMI, offering password
protection and selectable shadowing of both the system and video BIOS. A
CMOS clock-calendar is included, as are built-in diagnostics.

MicroFLEX features the new Micro Express FM-360 14" Super VGA Color
Monitor. With its 0.28-mm dot pitch and 1024 x 768 pixel resolution, this
monitor provides a picture clarity rarely seen on PCs.

MicroFLEX is packaged in a compact desktop case, measuring 6.5"[H] x
14.5"[W] x 16.5"[D]. If desired, MicroFLEX can be provided in a super
tower case, with room for up to 8 disk drives and a 375-W power supply. A
standard 101-type enhanced keyboard with or without audible feedback is
offered...or a programmable keyboard can be substituted for just $75.
