PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ZLX-M graphics accelerator family offers superb price/performance for
2D/3D graphics on DEC 3000 workstations. The ZLX-M1 graphics accelerator and
the TURBOchannel extender box now can be ordered as a packaged configuration
for more than a 15 percent price reduction. The ZLX-M2 graphics accelerator
and the TURBOchannel extender box also can be ordered together for a savings
of 12 percent.

Because the ZLX-M1 and ZLX-M2 graphics accelerators are multislot solutions,
the combination of the TURBOchannel extender box with a ZLX-M graphics
accelerator allows users to configure their systems using the TURBOchannel
extender box for the graphics, and standard system slots for other devices
or an additional ZLX-M graphics accelerator (under DEC Open3D for DEC OSF/1
AXP systems only). In addition, users ordering DEC 3000 Model 300 systems
now can configure their systems with a ZLX-M2 graphics accelerator by
ordering one of these new packaged configurations.

BENEFITS

o  Packages provide a substantial cost savings.

o  Multislot solutions offer system expandability and flexibility.
