ASHLAND, MA -February 11, 1992: Legacy Storage Systems is pleased to
announce the release of the Legacy M.A.S.S. HFD NetSpan, a new generation
SCSI based storage subsystem specially designed for the Novell NetWare
operating system. This newest member of Legacy's "Hot Fix" storage family
can incorporate RAID Levels 0,1 or 5. The Legacy NetSpan connects easily
to file servers via a SCSI bus and can hold up to 12 industry-standard
hard disk devices with a total capacity of 12 Gb in one storage
enclosure.

The Legacy NetSpan will be exhibited at NetWorld Boston, booth number 1527;
"drive failure" and "hot fix" drive replacement demonstrations will be
given during the show.

The subsystem provides true "hot fix" capabilities with device-mounted
trays that can readily be replaced without the need to power down the
system or interrupt the network; drive rebuilding is transparent to all
network users.

The Legacy NetSpan will appeal to those users who require the highest
levels of performance and data availability for their mission-critical
applications, such as in on-line transaction processing. With a transfer
rate of 10 Mb/sec., easy serviceability and a high level of fault
tolerance, the Legacy NetSpan is ideally suited for the banking, airlines,
and health care industries.

The Legacy NetSpan can also be an integral component of a corporate system
downsizing scheme, by providing mainframe data reliability at a fraction
of the cost.

Legacy Device Drivers Enhance NetWare SFT's Features

Legacy device drivers enhance NetWare SFTs features (RAID Levels O and 1)
with no need to reset the bus during the initialization of a newly
replaced device. An "optimization utility" of the device driver improves
disk space utilization and file access times.

Legacy device drivers come standard with every Legacy NetSpan subsystem and
are complemented with an NLM server-based backup management software. A
basic configuration is comprised of six 480 Mb hard disks with 3 drives on
either side of a NetWare span and includes a DAT tape drive for additional
security; dual industry-standard SCSI host adapters are also provided to
eliminate a possible point of failure; and, newly enhanced high surge
"power sharing" power supplies extend fault tolerance levels.

Optional RAID Level 5 Solution

For users who require a RAID Level 5 solution, Legacy M.A.S.S. Array
Software for Novell NetWare is available. Other options include additional
hard disks and up to a total of 4 power supplies.

John Whyte, vice president of technology and development, commented,
"Feedback from our customers has indicated a certain comfort level by the
user community with NetWare's own RAID Level 0/1 capabilities. RAID Level
5 certainly has its place depending on the specific application and the
degree of storage efficiency required."

He continued, "The Legacy NetSpan can easily be part of an organization's
future growth path. The product philosophy is based on the current needs
of Netware users allowing them to achieve zero downtime without a
sacrifice in performance."

Pricing Information and Availability The standard NetSpan configuration has
a suggested list price of

US$24,799 and is sold as a complete bundled kit and includes: six 480 Mb
hard disks, Legacy device drivers, NLM server-based backup management
software, two SCSI host adapters along with a DAT tape drive and data
cassette. Optional devices, power supplies and RAID Level 5 software are
available upon request. Please contact Legacy Storage Systems directly at
