Ametron Technologies, Inc. Announces XDF

An OS/2 Warp V3 Floppy Disk Format That Permits IBM's 3.5" Disks To Hold
1.84M Bytes Of Formatted Data

TAMPA, Florida,  October 11, 1994 ---AMETRON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. announces
today that IBM has introduced a new media expansion software technology
called XDF (eXtended Density Format) integrated into OS/2 WARP V3.   XDF
dramatically increases the amount of formatted space available on floppy
disks by 28%.  IBM's 3.5" floppy disk, which previously held 1.44 M Bytes
of formatted data, will now hold 1.84 MBytes of formatted data. IBM is
shipping  XDF with OS/2 WARP V3 to simplify the installation process. In
addition, a special copy routine is included to allow users to create back
up copies of OS/2 WARP V3 using the XDF format.

AMETRON will make the XDF technology available to application software
developers to reduce the number of disks required to create their
programs. Software developers using XDF will benefit by reducing their
manufacturing costs to produce their programs.

"AMETRON is pleased to provide IBM with a new high quality disk format
solution as part of IBM's new advanced operating system known as OS/2 WARP
V3"  stated Jon Gordon, President of AMETRON.
