FWB Chosen to Supply Storage for the America's Cup Louis Vitton Database

San Francisco, January 31, 1995. FWB, Inc., manufacturers of the award
winning Hammer brand of high performance mass storage products! today
announced that the America's Cup Louis Vitton Database has chosen FWB to
supply storage for the corporate media center in San Diego, California.

The purpose of the Louis Vitton Media Center Database is to offer the media
on-line access to up to the minute information about the world's greatest
sailing event throughout the duration of the races. The reliability and
power of FWB's world class storage solutions are the perfect match for the
rigors that the media center will put on storage systems. The database is
divided into three computer based on-line services: PPL Medialink, AC95 on
the InterNet and Compuserve. Depending on the level of media support
required, interested parties may access the database to download broadcast
quality video and press conferences, publication quality photographs,
press releases, background information and even virtual reality files.

The Louis Vitton Database is running on 3 workstations, two Power Macintosh
8100/80s and one Quadra 840av. Each station will be attached to a
PocketHammer4100FMF high performance four gigabyte hard disk drive from
FWB. The "Fast Media Format" of the PocketHammer will speed file access
times ultimately reducing on-line costs.
