STB INTRODUCES MICRO-CHANNEL GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR

Ergo MCX will offer Micro Channel users 10x faster graphics acceleration
than standard VGA

August 5, 1993 -- Richardson, Texas - STB Systems, Inc. has announced the
release of a full featured graphics accelerator for Micro Channel
Architecture systems. The product, named the Ergo MCX, is capable of
delivering ten times more speed than a standard VGA video adapter.

Powered by the Tseng Labs ET4000-W32 video controller, the product will be
configured with one megabyte of fast DRAM. The ET4000-W32 controller will
provide full hardware support for BitBlock-Transfers (BitBLT) and other
graphical operations and will maintain compatibility with previous
generations of ET4000 video controllers. The Ergo MCX will support a wide
range of software drivers including Windows, Windows NT, OS/2, Unix and
CAD/CAM applications.

The Ergo MCX provides 16.7 million colors at a resolution of 640x480 (72Hz)
and up to 65 thousand colors at 800x600 (72Hz) and 256 colors at 1024x768
(76Hz). The Ergo MCX supports non-interlaced, interlaced and ergonomic
monitors and supports a maximum interlaced resolution of 1280x1024 running
16 colors.

The exclusive STB design of the Ergo MCX adapter allows the use of any
software written for the IBM VGA, IBM 8514-AI, STB ERGO-VGA, STB
ERGO-VGA/MC, Tseng ET4000, ET4000W32, or VESA SuperVGA standards without
special drivers or pre-loads.

STB has positioned the Ergo MCX against slower and more expensive Micro
Channel products like IBM's XGA. "The Ergo MCX will allow IBM PS/2 and
other MCA-bus system users to significantly increase their graphics
performance over slower competing Micro Channel products," said Gary
Kellar, STB Product Manager.

The Ergo MCX will begin shipping in August. The suggested retail price of
the Ergo MCX is $359.
