MEDIALOGIC ADL'S SCALABLE LIBRARY ARCHITECTURE PRODUCT LINE PASSES FCC
TESTS

January 1995 - BOULDER, Col....MediaLogic ADL, developer of the industry's
premier scalable data library products, today announced that its Scalable
Library Architecture (SLA) line of advanced data libraries has passed
initial tests for FCC Class A regulations for electronic emissions.

The SLA line was certified on the first pass, an uncommon achievement among
data storage peripherals. The testing was conducted on an SLA-8plus
library with six 8mm tape drives installed, plus three SCSI removable
media devices and two rigid disk drives.

MediaLogic ADL president and CEO Lee Elizer said that gaining quick FCC
approval is a good indication that the SLA design is well within the FCC
emission limits and puts the company in a good position for rapid European
agency approval. "The company's focus in meeting the FCC emissions
standards was on the logic boards and the advanced electro-mechanics
embodied in the tape cartridge loading devices and Datapak cartridge
indexing designs," said Elizer. The test results, however, demonstrated
that the SLA design has very quiet electronics, which he credited to the
creativity of the company's engineering staff, headed by Engineering Vice
President Chris Madowe.

The SLA family currently includes three series of automated data libraries:
the SLA-4 Series of 4mm DAT systems with capacities of up to 960 gigabytes
(with 20, 40, 72 and 120 cartridges) in a 12-drive configuration, the
SLA-8 line of 8mm units, offering more than 1.23 terabytes of capacity
also in a 12-drive configuration (with 14, 28, 52 and 88 cartridges), and
the multi-terabyte high-performance DLT-based SLA-D product family with up
to 7 drives (with 7, 14, 26 and 50 cartridges).

The innovative SLA technology gives these libraries an unprecedented level
of scalability to create customized solutions to precisely meet specific
customer requirements. As more cartridges are added to the libraries
through the addition of higher capacity DataPaks, additional tape drives
can be added to ensure that data throughput keeps pace. Each drive
includes an attached media loader, automatically scaling the data handling
capabilities of the library as more drives are added to ensure that
information stored in the DataPak is made available to users as fast as
possible. Quick and easy data interchange is supported via the front panel
accessible MixedMedia Interchange Drawer. The drawer can be configured
with up to four removable media SCSI devices to exchange information
between the MixedMedia devices and the DataPaks.

MediaLogic ADL, Inc., headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, is a subsidiary
of Massachusetts-based Media Logic, Inc. MediaLogic ADL is chartered with
creating breakthrough technology in the area of innovative automated data
library (ADL) solutions. The design and architecture of the new MediaLogic
ADL scalable library products is expected to enhance current applications,
enable expanded use of libraries and provide an excellent opportunity for
VARs to participate in the profitable emerging market for automated
storage solutions.
