  	  MYLEX INTRODUCES LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT FOR ITS
  	      BUSLOGIC FLASHPOINT LINE OF SCSI HOST ADAPTERS


  FREMONT, CA, -- October 8, 1996 -- Mylex Corporation has expanded Linux
  operating system support to its BusLogic brand of FlashPoint Ultra SCSI
  host adapters.  All of BusLogic's other SCSI host adapters, including the
  MultiMaster line, currently support the Linux operating system.  Linux
  drivers and information will be available on October 15th at
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/dandelion/.

  "Mylex is committed to supporting the Linux community," says Peter Shambora,
  vice president of marketing for Mylex.  "We have supported Linux driver
  development and provided technical support for our host adapters for several
  years, and are pleased to now make our FlashPoint products available to this
  user base."

The Linux Operating System
==========================

Linux is a freely-distributed implementation of UNIX for Intel x86, Sun
SPARC, SGI MIPS, Motorola 68k, Digital Alpha AXP and Motorola PowerPC
machines.  It supports a wide range of software, including the X Window
System, Emacs, and TCP/IP networking.  Further information is available at
http://www.linux.org and http://www.ssc.com/.

FlashPoint Host Adapters
========================

The FlashPoint family of Ultra SCSI host adapters, designed for workstation
and file server environments, are available in narrow, wide, dual channel,
and dual channel wide versions.  These adapters feature SeqEngine
automation technology, which minimizes SCSI command overhead and reduces
the number of interrupts generated to the CPU.
