ACER TECHN)LC:X;IES ADDS AT-CCMPATIBLE

TO FAMILY OF DISKLESS PERSONAL ru1PUTERS

ATlANTA, Ga., June 1, 1987 -- Acer Technologies Corp., a newly fonned

affiliate of Multitech Electronics Inc., has introduced a 12 MHZ IBM PC/AT­

compatible as the latest addition to its family of diskless PC workstations,

here at COMDEX/Spring (Booth 1506 East Hall).

The LAN 900 is a 16-bit, Intel 80286-based IBM AT-compatible prOviding

integrated workstation features and built-in expandability. It is keyboard

switchable between 12 MHz and 8 MHZ for increased flexibility of applications.

This new diskless PC joins the ACER LAN 500, an 8088-based 8-bit diskless

PC introduced last year at COMDEX/Fall in Las Vegas.

"\<,e feel this new product will anerge as a price-performance leader for

diskless AT-compatible workstations," said Stephen R. MCKenzie, Acer's

president. "The IAN 900 fits in perfectly in a local area network where the

user needs the power of an 80286-based microcomputer, for the cost of a

,smart' terminal. II

~ If you're looking for a powerful AT® compatible, there's no better value today than the ACER 900. For one thing, it's very fast - 50 per­cent faster than the IBM® PC/AT! But the ACER 900 doesn't cost nearly as much. ~ From the keyboard, you can quickly switch between speeds of 12 or BMHz. At either speed, the ACER 900 is fully AT compatible. So it can run all the same soft­ware, and work with all the same hardware as an AT.

~As for memory, the ACER 900 comes with a half-height 1.2MB floppy drive, and packs up to a full megabyte of RAM on the mother­board. The ACER 900 is ex­pandable, too. It can hold as many as five half-height 5.25" storage devices, includ­ing an BOMB hard disk. Plus, with our optional Lotus®/ Intel®/Microsoft® EMS mul­tifunction board, you can add up to 3MB of RAM. ~ There are little touches, too, that make the ACER 900 a computer worth hav­ing. Like a battery-powered

clock /calendar, 101-key tactile feel keyboard, front-mounted reset button that's easy to reach, and a key lock for peace of mind . All standard.

~Rest assured that the ACER 900 is more than a well-rounded computer. It's well supported, too. With a technical hotline, for one. And an agreement with TRW, the industry'S finest warranty service, to help yo wherever you are. ~The ACER 900. It's all the computer you need.

ACER 1100

~The ACER 1100 gives you minicomputer performance in an A'f®-compatible computer. In fact, it could well be the fastest personal computer ever to sit on a desktop. ~Driven by a prodigious 32-bit microprocessor (Intel's 80386), the ACER 1100 makes zero-wait-state access of up to 5MB, a reality. And enables you to run CAD/CAE, multi-user and artificial intelligence pro­grams - applications that until now were not practical on any personal computer, anywhere. ~Running at 16MHz, the ACER 1100 is 2 to 3 times faster than conventional

PClA'f® compatibles. So you can execute today's sophisti­cated spreadsheets, data­bases and graphics programs quicker than ever before. Making youmore productive than ever before. ~ What's more, the ACER 1100 lets you select from processing speeds of 4.77, 6, 8, 10, 12 or a lightning fast 16MHz. So it will work with all the MS-DOS software you already own. As well as new application software still on the way. ~The ACER 1100 comes with an almost unthinkable amount of storage memory. Starting with a full-height 40MB hard drive and half­height 1.2MB floppy disk drive, standard. (Not to men­

hon that our system is avail­able with up to 130MB of memory!) Plus, there's space available for two additional half-height or one full-height mass storage device. Of course, with this much raw speed and memory, the ACER 1100 can also serve as a very capable network file server. ~ Best of all , you get all this computing power at an incredible value, and with plenty of support. The ACER 1100. It's a serious computer for serious com­puter people.

AeER 910

~ This is no ordinary AT®­compatible computer. It's an extraordinary one. The ACER 910 packs more speed and power than any com­puter in its class, and fea­tures a smaller, less imposing footprint than the PC/AT. Better yet, the ACER 910 comes with two clock speeds, which you can select at the tap of a key. ~At 6MHz, it performs four times faster than an ordinary IBM® Pc/X'PM. Switch to 10MHz, and you've got a computer that's 25 percent

faster than the IBM PC/AT. At a price that's conSiderably less. ~ Of course, the ACER 910 is fully compatible with the AT, so you can run thousands of popular software programs. Only you'll be running them a lot faster. What's more, with its potent multitasking capability, you can send a memo over a modem, recal­culate a spreadsheet, fetch a file from the hard disk, and more . All at the same time. ~ The ACER 910 has 512KB of standard memory on the main board, expandable to 1MB. There's a.lso room for three half-height 5.25 " mass

storage devices, and one half-height 3.5" device, to hold up to 80MB of addi­tional memory. Plus, it comes with high resolution graphics and color emula­tion. And, as if that weren't enough, the 910 can even operate as a dedicated file server in an integrated Local Area Network. ~Which all adds up to a computer that means busi­ness.

AeER Lp·75

~ The ACER LP-75 is beauti­ful proof that a desktop laser printer can be loaded with highly advanced features, yet still be highly affordable, ~ It's fully compatible with the HP line of LaserJet printers, including the new Series II. So YOll gain access to the wide range of soft­ware and third-party fonts developed for the HP line. ~ You also gain superior perfonnance. The LP-75 has three times as much memory on board - 1.5MB of RAM.

Plus a higher-resolution, 300 x 300 DPI graphics capabil­ity built in. Enabling you to print a full page of exquisite graphics in one feed. Without the need of costly upgrades. ~ The LP-75 is truly versa­tile, as well, ]t comes with 9 built-in fonts, more than enough for most any letter-or document­printing requirement. 1t also offers vector graphics capa­bility, making it ideal for CADICAE applications. And, thanks to its more efficient controller design,

the LP-75 prints text and graphics on the same page much faster than other con parable printers. ~ All of which proves that there are no printers com­parable to the LP-75. But that's not surprising when you consider that it comes from Acer, a company with years of experience in designing, building and su porting high-performance computer products. At any thing but high prices,
