ONTRACK ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF DISK MANAGER MAC WITH IDE SUPPORT

Boosts IDE and SCSI device performance

December 13, 1994 -- Minneapolis, MN -- Ontrack Computer Systems today
announced the release of Disk Manager Mac 4.0. This upgraded version is
the first third party Macintosh installation program in the industry to
support IDE drives. Disk Manager Mac easily installs and completely
prepares virtually any IDE or SCSI drive, read/write optical or floptical
device into a Macintosh computer. Version 4.0 increases performance,
installation, and diagnostic capabilities for both IDE and SCSI devices.

Ontrack President John Pence says of the upgrade, "With the emergence of
IDE disk drives into the Macintosh marketplace, Macintosh users are
finally able to reap the benefits of Ontrack's years of IDE technology
research. Disk Manager Mac 4.0 gives users the added performance they
desire, and allows them to take advantage of the options offered
exclusively by IDE technology."

By boosting the rate at which IDE drives read and write data, the Disk
Manager Mac driver can significantly increase the speed at which data is
processed and allow drives to process and transfer data at their maximum
performance levels. Lab tests show that the Disk Manager Mac 4.0 driver
often allows users to process data up to 40% or more faster than the
current Apple driver. In addition, it contains expanded driver options to
increase performance of both IDE and SCSI devices, including
magneto-optical disk drives.

Disk Manager Mac 4.0 offers users expanded installation options. Disk
Manager Mac 4.0 has the ability to install virtually any IDE drive and, in
some cases, increase storage capacity. Unlike Apple's installer, Disk
Manager Mac allows IDE users to create many custom partitions, each with
their own partition options and sizes. All Disk Manager Mac utilities take
advantage of the features offered by the IDE ATA Manager and SCSI Manager
4.3.

Disk Manager Mac version 4.0 supports virtually any Macintosh model running
System 6.x and above. The product retails for $69.95 and may be purchased
directly from Ontrack, as well as through dealers, distributors, and
retailers. Current owners of the product may upgrade for $25.00. Ontrack's
GSA number for software purchases is GSOOK94AGS5481. Disk Manager products
are also available for use in the DOS and Novell environments.
