        BUSLOGIC ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH NEXT
   COMPUTER FOR DEVELOPMENT OF 32-BIT SCSI SUPPORT FOR NEXTSTEP

SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 10, 1994 -- BusLogic, a leading supplier
of high performance SCSI, IDE and RAID I/O solutions, today announced
a strategic partnership with Next Computer, Inc. in support of NeXT's
NEXTSTEP operating environment.  Specifically, BusLogic and NeXT have
developed a 32-bit device driver which makes BusLogic's SCSI host
adapters compatible with the NEXTSTEP object-oriented software, which
has been designed for the development of custom, enterprise-wide,
client/server applications.

         The new device driver utilizes the BusLogic 32-bit extended
mode, enabling data to be transmitted with greater efficiency for
optimum performance.  The BusLogic driver will be available through
NeXT's future release of NEXTSTEP version 3.3, and also via NeXT's
various bulletin boards and support systems.

         BusLogic has worked closely with NeXT to ensure that BusLogic's
entire family of SCSI host adapters are compatible with the NEXTSTEP
operating environment.  In addition to the NEXTSTEP OS, BusLogic
supplies device drivers for all major operating systems including
DOS/Windows, NetWare, Windows NT, SCO UNIX, OS/2, Solaris, Interactive
UNIX, UnixWare, and many others.  BusLogic drivers are also embedded
in leading operating systems such as NetWare 3.12 and 4.x, Windows NT
and Solaris.

         "We are delighted to be a partner with NeXT in supporting
its industry-leading applications development environment," said
Julian Elliott, vice president of marketing at BusLogic Inc.
"Through our NEXTSTEP OS device driver, we reinforce BusLogic's
commitment to and market position in offering the broadest range of
operating system support in the industry."

         "NeXT has been committed to working with BusLogic in its
development of support for NEXTSTEP because our customers have been
demanding access to BusLogic's industry-leading high performance SCSI
host adapters to provide them with the highest levels of I/O throughput
available today," said Bob Lawton, strategic technology manager of
NeXT's Intel-based product line.  "We believe this new support will
allow our customers to optimize their operating envronments."
