- [Salt Lake City, Utah--August 29, 1991: Dayna Communications, Inc. today
- announced an immediate price reduction of its DaynaPORT™ line of Macintosh
- Ethernet adapters and instituted a program that guarantees users complete
- compatibility of any DaynaPORT model with thick, thin or twisted-pair Ethernet
- media. The new low prices affect the company's full line of adapters for the
- Macintosh II family, SE, SE/30, LC and IIsi.
-
- Effective immediately, the company’s full line of 10BASE-T Ethernet adapters
- are reduced from $399 to $299 U.S. suggested retail price. All other DaynaPORT
- models that support thin Ethernet and AUI connections are reduced from $399 to
- $329.
-
- In addition, Dayna has instituted a program to guarantee the user’s investme
- in DaynaPORT adapters should they change their Ethernet cable system in the
- future. The program allows users to exchange a DaynaPORT adapter that supports
- one type of Ethernet media for an adapter supporting other media types, free of
- charge during the first year of ownership, or at a fee of $49 at any time
- thereafter.
-
- “Macintosh Ethernet networks are moving rapidly away from thin-Ethernet to
- twisted-pair wiring. While other vendors have recently introduced higher-priced
- Ethernet adapters with all three 10BASE-T, thin-Ethernet and AUI connectors on
- one card, we think network managers would rather have a card with fewer
- connectors at a lower price,” said Dayna’s President and CEO Boyd T. Jones. “We
- want to support the move to twisted-pair wiring by offering the very lowest
- price we can on our 10BASE-T adapters through the distribution channel. For
- those network managers who need thick or thin Ethernet connections today but
- want to change to 10BASE-T tomorrow, we’ll guarantee their investment by
- swapping out any DaynaPORT card free of charge within the first year.”
-
- DaynaPORT is a full line of Ethernet adapters for all Macintosh computers
- including the Macimntosh II family, SE and SE/30, the LC and the IIsi. The
- adapters come with a new easy Installer that automatically selects for the card
- type and System version (6.x or 7.0), free diagnostic software and support for
- System 7, NetWare for Macintosh 3.11, and all popular network operating
- systems. They feature the premium National Semiconductor SONIC Ethernet chip,
- surface mount technology and Direct Memory Access architecture for optimum
- speed, reliability and performance. All Dayna’s Ethernet products are backed by
- a lifetime guarantee and unlimited free technical phone support.
-
- DaynaPORT products are distributed domestically by Ingram Micro, Merisel,
- Macamerica, Tech Data and other distributors, and are available worldwide
- through a network of international distributors in Europe, Asia, Australia and
- Canada.
