+The BusLogic FlashPoint SCSI Driver

+ MYLEX INTRODUCES LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT FOR ITS
+ BUSLOGIC FLASHPOINT LINE OF SCSI HOST ADAPTERS
+
+
+ FREMONT, CA, -- October 8, 1996 -- Mylex Corporation has expanded Linux
+ operating system support to its BusLogic brand of FlashPoint Ultra SCSI
+ host adapters. All of BusLogic's other SCSI host adapters, including the
+ MultiMaster line, currently support the Linux operating system. Linux
+ drivers and information will be available on October 15th at
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/dandelion/.
+
+ "Mylex is committed to supporting the Linux community," says Peter Shambora,
+ vice president of marketing for Mylex. "We have supported Linux driver
+ development and provided technical support for our host adapters for several
+ years, and are pleased to now make our FlashPoint products available to this
+ user base."
+
+The Linux Operating System
+==========================
+
+Linux is a freely-distributed implementation of UNIX for Intel x86, Sun
+SPARC, SGI MIPS, Motorola 68k, Digital Alpha AXP and Motorola PowerPC
+machines. It supports a wide range of software, including the X Window
+System, Emacs, and TCP/IP networking. Further information is available at
+http://www.linux.org and http://www.ssc.com/.
+
+FlashPoint Host Adapters
+========================
+
+The FlashPoint family of Ultra SCSI host adapters, designed for workstation
+and file server environments, are available in narrow, wide, dual channel,
+and dual channel wide versions. These adapters feature SeqEngine
+automation technology, which minimizes SCSI command overhead and reduces
+the number of interrupts generated to the CPU.
+
+About Mylex
+===========
+
+Mylex Corporation (NASDAQ/NM SYMBOL: MYLX), founded in 1983, is a leading
+producer of RAID technology and network management products. The company
+produces high performance disk array (RAID) controllers, and complementary
+computer products for network servers, mass storage systems, workstations
+and system boards. Through its wide range of RAID controllers and its
+BusLogic line of Ultra SCSI host adapter products, Mylex provides enabling
+intelligent I/O technologies that increase network management control,
+enhance CPU utilization, optimize I/O performance, and ensure data security
+and availability. Products are sold globally through a network of OEMs,
+major distributors, VARs, and system integrators. Mylex Corporation is
+headquartered at 34551 Ardenwood Blvd., Fremont, CA.

+ 1 February 1996
+
+ ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT
+ BusLogic FlashPoint LW/BT-958 Upgrade Program
+ 14 June 1996
+
+ Ever since its introduction last October, the BusLogic FlashPoint LT has
+ been problematic for members of the Linux community, in that no Linux
+ drivers have been available for this new Ultra SCSI product. Despite its
+ officially being positioned as a desktop workstation product, and not being
+ particularly well suited for a high performance multitasking operating
+ system like Linux, the FlashPoint LT has been touted by computer system
+ vendors as the latest thing, and has been sold even on many of their high
+ end systems, to the exclusion of the older MultiMaster products. This has
+ caused grief for many people who inadvertently purchased a system expecting
+ that all BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters
