INTECOLOR ANNOUNCES FIRST INDUSTRIAL VESA/LOCAL BUS WORKSTATIONS

DULUTH, GA (May 12, 1993) -- Intecolor Corporation has announced VESA/Local
Bus versions of its industrial Workstation product line. The new versions
represent the first VESA/Local Bus systems designed specifically for power
users in the industrial market. Advanced ruggedization features make them
ideal for factory floor applications.

Local bus video technology, developed by the Video Electronic Standards
Association (VESA), provides significant performance advantages over
standard ISA machines. Conventional ISA bus systems have 16 bit data paths
at 8 MHz compared with local bus data paths of 32 bits at speeds up to 50
MHz. This results in local bus data transfer rates of over 130 MB per
second, many times faster than ISA's 16 MB per second limit. This high
speed data path allows communication between the CPU and local bus
peripherals to take place at speeds approaching memory and the processor
itself.

"Just as we've seen in the commercial marketplace, users are moving to
graphic intensive applications and demanding more power," said Stan
Jessen, Systems Product Manager. "To run these applications, our customers
are requesting 20-inch displays with 1024 x 768 resolution. Higher
resolutions increase the graphics workload, creating a need for higher
performance graphics and computing capabilities. Our VESA local bus
systems attack this problem on two fronts. First, an intelligent graphics
card is used to off-load the main CPU. Secondly, local bus removes the
communications bottleneck between the CPU and the graphics card. 

"However, our customers are still concerned with reliability on the plant
floor," said Jessen. We've built a solution -- an ideal system to work
with Windows that can withstand harsh environments."

Sturdy features include 16 gauge steel chassis construction and fans that
use positive air pressure to cool the cards and the 200 watt power supply.
Dual, individual card restraints guard against shock and vibration. A
front door conceals the power and reset switches, front keyboard
connector, hard disk and floppy drives, and the Workstation's monitor
controls.

The new units come in four integrated Workstation versions: Rackmount,
Industrial Benchtop, NEMA 4 Panelmount, and NEMA 4 fully enclosed. All of
the integrated Workstation versions include an AT computer plus a 20" 1024
x 768 non-interlaced display. Also available is a standalone rackmount
Workstation without a display.

The new Workstations feature processors ranging from 486DX 25 MHz to
486DX2/66 MHz; hard drives from 80 to 400 MB; and RAM from 4 to 32 MB.
Options include integrated touchscreens, higher performance video cards,
VL-Bus hard drive controllers, and installed Windows. Custom capabilities
such as stainless steel and purged enclosures are also available for
specialized industries.

All versions are now available. 1 00-piece prices for the integrated
Rackmount start at $4,595.

Founded in 1973, Intecolor is a leading manufacturer of human-machine
interface systems for the industrial control industry. The company's
complete line of industrial Workstations, Monitors, and Terminals is
available in a wide variety of enclosures and resolutions.
