<p>SONNET BRINGS OS X SOLUTION TO UNSUPPORTED PLATFORMS</p>
<p>IRVINE, CALIFORNIA April 23, 2001. Sonnet Technologies, the worldwide<br />
market share leader in processor upgrade cards for Apple Macintosh<br />
computers, announces OS X compatibility for an extended number of<br />
configurations. Apple Computer's official release of OS X on March 24, 2001<br />
was said to support only "native" G3 and G4 systems. Sonnet's announcement<br />
covers a much wider array of upgraded Macintosh and compatible models, plus<br />
a program to support customers of Newer Technology's processor upgrades.</p>
<p>Effective immediately, the Sonnet Encore/ZIF and Encore/ST G3/G4 processor<br />
upgrade product lines are completely OS X compatible in all Power Macintosh<br />
G3 and G4 desktops and Minitowers. Those who are running a Sonnet Encore G4<br />
upgrade in a beige Power Macintosh G3 will need a software update, now<br />
available at no cost at <a href="http://www.sonnettech.com/downloads/" title="http://www.sonnettech.com/downloads/">http://www.sonnettech.com/downloads/</a>.</p>
<p>In those same Power Macintosh G3 and G4s, users of Newer Technology's<br />
MaxPower G3 and G4 ZIF products will also have a complete OS X solution<br />
from Sonnet. Newer Tech left thousands of users without future OS support<br />
when the company closed its doors in December 2000. MaxPower ZIF users will<br />
require a software update to attain full compatibility and performance with<br />
OS X. Sonnet is developing these MaxPower OS X solutions, and expects to<br />
have them posted by the end of May 2001. The MaxPower ZIF software will<br />
carry a download fee of $29.95.</p>
<p>Sonnet will also offer OS X compatibility solutions for Macintosh platforms<br />
that Apple is not officially supporting. By the end of May 2001, Sonnet<br />
Crescendo/PCI G3 and G4 owners will be able to download an installer to run<br />
OS X on any of the following models: Power Macintosh 7300, 7500, 7600,<br />
8500, 8600, 9500, 9600, PowerTower Pro, Power Wave, UMAX J700, S900. OS X's<br />
compatibility in these machines will match that in Power Macintosh G3<br />
computers. This breakthrough solution will soon be accessible from the<br />
Sonnet web site for a download fee of $29.95.</p>
<p>For this same set of PCI Power Macintoshes, Sonnet is very pleased to<br />
announce an equivalent OS X compatibility solution for users of Newer<br />
Technology's MaxPower G3 and G4 PCI upgrade cards. Scheduled for June 2001<br />
release, the MaxPower PCI compatibility package will have a download fee of<br />
$69.95.This solution will allow former Newer Tech customers using Power<br />
