DIGIBOARD EPC/X SYSTEM NOW AVAILABLE FOR MICRO CHANNEL PLATFORM

PRODUCT CONNECTS UP TO 224 USERS THROUGH ONE EXPANSION SLOT, EPC/CON-16 NOW
AVAILABLE FOR EITHER DB-25 OR RJ-45 CONNECTORS

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 14, 1994 -- DigiBoard today announced that its EPC/X
System supports Micro Channel platforms in addition to ISA, EISA, and SBus
platforms. In addition, the EPC/X can be ordered with either DB-25 or
RJ-45 connector options. The EPC/X System is a cluster controller system
that offers a sophisticated, cost-effective way to add from 16 to 1,792
ports to microprocessor-based multiuser and networked systems, providing
advanced performance and expandability for large workgroup environments.

These enhancements complete the EPC/X System family of products which
consists of a host adapter card with a 20-MHz IDT 3051 RISC processor,
which resides in the host computer or server, plus one or more EPC/CON-16
concentrator boxes that each support up to 16 terminals, modems or other
asynchronous devices. The EPC/X System can be expanded from 16 to 224
ports per host adapter and is backward compatible with the DigiBoard C/X
CON-16 concentrators.

The EPC/X System provides a full range of advanced features, including
on-line diagnostics, pass-through fault tolerance, surge protection,
optional fiber-optic connections and synchronous remote capabilities. The
system provides performance of up to 115.2 Kbps and features DigiBoard's
Front End Processor/Operating System (FEP/OS), which delivers high
performance by significantly reducing the host computer's Input/Output
(I/O) overhead. A Fiber Link option enables workgroups to be located up to
1.25 miles from the host; with synchronous modems, workgroups can be
located anywhere.
