Karen mentioned one post in paticular that made her uneasy. The post which
reproduced the 10q. The only post like this was the one by Trader37 on
11/6/96. I thought this post was very informative and useful. I'm not a
mind reader(especially of women), so I have no idea what the hell is going
through Karen's head. I asked Karen if there were other insider purchases in
the recent months and she declined to tell me. Karen also seemed to downplay
the pre-comdex event, which she said will last only 10 minutes and charge for
admission.

Your irritation is understandable RRomano, but at least it highlights Ampex's
maniacal expense watching the last couple of years. Which could work out to
our benefit in the long run. Got a chuckle out of their charging admission to
their Comdex presentation ...or is that standard procedure? They might even
charge admission to Karen.
The first KM moment of truth is coming up fast now of course. Even if
they initially fail, I imagine they will hang in. Too big a potential market
to give up on so easily. Bramson's purchase is a powerful signal that the
company is on sound footing, and is very likely to grow. It seems to me that
it isn't only a signal to stockholders, but also a signal to the large
companies they are negotiating with - that Ampex is in it for the long run.
My particular sense of corporate momentum continues to give me the opinion
that '98 will be the truly exceptional year for AXC, but a sizable keeper
deal could really speed up matters. Hoping.
Profitably traded Marvel a few years ago. Their remarkable decline since
highlights to me what can happen to a good company when they over diversify (
or "diworsify" as Peter Lynch calls it), take on too much debt, manages
poorly etc. Ampex seems to be going in exactly the opposite direction. They
are watching their pennies and whittling their efforts down to the biggest
potential markets and to the things they do best. Long AXC!

There is obviously more to your discontent with Individual Investor than
their articles on current Magic 25 stocks, or the timing of the announcement
of their new M25 selections. I have noticed that they often leave out Magic
25 follow-ups, especially when nothing new has developed, not just becuase
the stock price is stagnant.

Sure the M25 selections won't be announced until their January issue, but
this issue comes out in mid-December.

From: Dugasarc

Yes I know.
PRML is used on the high end drives where expense is less of a problem.
It will move to the mainstream as more chips are made.
I won't go into the detection scheme itself but I will say this-
A disk has magnetic "bits"..
The magnetic "bit" is essentially a reatively uniformly magnetized area.
Two adjacent mag bits are stuck head to head or tail to tail. This happens
because the head current changes and thus we end up with alternating polarity
of magnetic regions or bits.
Now some bits have longer lenght than others. This is like Morse Cose where
you have longs and shorts and so ons. Now that you understand this, the
regions of magnitization, we have the reversal when the polarity is changed
from one to the other.
For example

Magnetic Cell = south----------->north

____________________________________________
---------> <---- -----> <--------- ----> and so on

t = transition region, where field is switched
L= long pulse
S= short pulse

OK now that we are really up to speed, we will talk about electrical bits
instead of magnetics bits.
The electrical bit comes from the transition region-
One get a positive pulse in the head with a north-north transition
" negative " south-south "

Notice the electical pulses are precisely located based on the precise
location of the magnetic transition, hence you are looking for peaks to occur
i certain tie frames or windows as e call them.
Most codes now are self clocking.

Now here is the strange thing-
Remember the old single density floppies?
They had 2 mag fluc changes (bits if you like) for every 1 electrical bit or
pulse.
This is because of the unsophisticated code used. Miller Code I think

Then there was Modified Miller Code or Doube Density
This had 1 mag bit (flux change) for eavery 1 electrical bit.

This was 2x efficient and hence the double density.

Now move on to run lenght limited codes-
you can get More than 1 electical bit for every 1 mag bit.
something like 3 for 2-

PRML is just the further advance of this concept of sqeezing more out of the
magnitics.
TradeOff = need more Signal To Noise to pull of higher density codes.

PRML augments this buy predicting if a peak occured if it is not 100% clear.

MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1996--

New architecture to fill critical need for high-speed,

high-volume network storage

Impactdata, a division of DATATAPE Inc. specializing in high-performance
network storage solutions, has introduced the world's first storage
architecture, Distributed Storage Node Architecture (DSNA), that is
optimized to take advantage of today's extremely high-speed computer
networks.

According to International Data Corp., the average storage capacity at
end-user sites is growing at 150 percent annually. Recognizing this,
Impactdata developed DSNA as a network storage solution that can be
integrated without changes to currently used application programs, thus
protecting an organization's investment in hardware and software.

Enterprise computing users will benefit from a DSNA implementation, since
applications operating anywhere on a network can access and use data as if
it were stored locally. Organizations implementing a DSNA environment
realize the benefits of centralized control with distributed access,
enabling vast amounts of information to be accessed and shared across
multiple computing platforms.

"Today's departmental and enterprise-level high-performance computers
produce as much data as yesterday's supercomputers," said Bob Farkaly of
Impactdata's Storage Solutions division. "This has created a data
management challenge that cannot be addressed adequately with current
technology.

"Impactdata's Distributed Storage Node Architecture is the answer to this
crisis. Its state-of-the-art management capabilities finally allows the
fastest, most sophisticated computer storage networks to be controlled and
managed. DSNA is a truly open solution that is scalable for both capacity
and performance, while taking advantage of commercial, off-the-shelf PCI
technology to provide a cost-effective, high-value storage solution."

DSNA features:

-- Ease of integration. DSNA enables storage devices from multiple vendors
to be integrated in a plug-and-play fashion into an enterprise's overall
network for a total storage solution.

-- High-performance data access. DSNA is built for today's extremely
high-speed networks, offering data transfer at speeds up to 100Mbytes/s.

-- Investment protection. DSNA supports the leading high-speed networks
(HIPPI, ATM, Fibre channel, Ethernet, FDDI) and a growing number of storage
peripheral devices, allowing an organization to implement a DSNA solution
without the expense of radically changing its computing landscape.

"Impactdata's DSNA will allow users to dynamically expand storage

-- at the speed of the network -- independent of the continual changes made
to the underlying processors in these high performance computing
environments," said Bruce Borden, managing director of research, Smaby Group
Inc. (Minneapolis). "DSNA is one of the first solutions to address a new
distributed storage paradigm taking place in the High Performance Computing
(HPC) industry."

A typical organization to benefit from a DSNA implementation is one that has
at least 100 gigabytes of on-line storage, uses high-speed networks for data
movement, produces large amounts of data that need to be stored and retrieved
for such purposes as data mining and/or has an installed relational database
like Informix, Sybase and Oracle. The cost of the technology starts at less
than $50,000.

"I feel the ability to configure DSNA subsystems with a choice of vendor
hardware is a definite advantage," said Thomas M. Ruwart, assistant
director, Laboratory for Computational Science and Engineering, University
of Minnesota. "This allows users to integrate the DSNA into their current
environments thus maintaining their original capital investment in archiving
hardware and media.

Computational Science and Engineering has a significant investment in Ampex

LTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 1996--Legato Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:
LGTO), a leader in the enterprise storage management software market, today
announced NetWorker 4.2.5 for UNIX, covering the AIX, Solaris and SunOS
platforms.

NetWorker 4.2.5 for UNIX will deliver unprecedented performance and
usability from a client/server storage management application, and has the
ability to offer high performance and reliable solutions for even those
customers with the most demanding storage management requirements.

"NetWorker 4.2.5 is targeted at customers deploying enterprise-class storage
management systems. For the first time, distributed, LAN-based storage
servers can take advantage of high speed devices as well as existing silo
tape libraries, significantly improving overall performance," said Kent
Smith, chief operating officer of Legato Systems, Inc.

NetWorker 4.2.5 for UNIX takes advantage of NetWorker's parallelism and
OpenTape architecture by further optimizing NetWorker's already outstanding
data transfer technology, thereby increasing performance. With support for
AIX 4.2 and Solaris 2.5.1, plus numerous enhancements designed to improve
reliability, Legato is confident customers will find NetWorker 4.2.5 fast,
scalable and reliable.

Customers who either require or have an existing silo or library will be
able to take advantage of the optional Silo Support Module offered by
NetWorker 4.2.5 for Solaris and AIX. This module allows NetWorker servers,
in conjunction with appropriate library software, to utilize StorageTek's
Automated Cartridge Storage Library Subsystem or EMASS' DAS.

Multiple NetWorker servers can be attached to the silo or library, with each
NetWorker server managing a separate partition within the silo or library in
cooperation with the library manager. The silo retains the ability to be
shared with mainframes, other applications or other UNIX servers. There are
two stratifications of the Silo Support Module -- one allows NetWorker to
manage from 1-128 volumes (or pieces of media) within a silo or library, and
the other allows NetWorker to manage an unlimited number of volumes.

Companies who need to transfer massive amounts of data in as short a time
span as possible can now take full advantage of the highest speed storage
devices using Legato's optional High Speed Device Support Module for
NetWorker for Solaris or AIX. The module provides the necessary support for
attaching an AMPEX DST-310, DST-410, IBM 3590 with Magstar or Sony DTF to a
NetWorker server.

The enhanced performance of these devices is 9-18 MB/sec. and NetWorker's
parallelism feature provides the ability to use these drives at their
maximum speed.

"Finally we are able to address the near-crisis need to back up massive
amounts of data in a shrinking backup window. With databases doubling in
size every two years, customers are facing a real data management dilemma.
NetWorker coupled with Ampex's high capacity, high performance DST tape
drives can deliver "virtual disk" performance to demanding customers. Now
regularly scheduled full backups at a rate of better than 11MB/sec. per
drive are possible, and lightning fast restores are a reality.

"Using a server such as Sun's ULTRASPARC 4000 with one or more DST drives
will yield astounding results. Speeds up to 19.2 MB/sec. were easily
achieved with two drives, and better than 22MB/sec. obtained when
configured with high performance disk arrays. That's half a terabyte in six
hours and a full terabyte in six hours when configured with four drives.
Amazing!" said Linda Sarles, vice president sales and marketing, Ampex
Corporation.

Pricing and Availability

Legato Systems' NetWorker 4.2.5 is now available with pricing beginning at
$6,000. Silo Support will be offered at $9,500 for the 1-128 volume module
and $30,000 for the unlimited volume module. The High Speed Device Support
will be offered at $6,500 per server (all prSubj: Re:MR heads?SEG

I am no expert at recording head technology, but I did see an article that
"Gus" posted on Silicon Investor that said Seagate has been working with MR
head technology for quite a few years. They may be producing alot of these
drives with MR, but currenlty, from what I hear, yields on MR heads aren't
very good, and it is a more expensive product to build.

With PC's being the commodity that they are (very price sensitive), with
price:performance levels getting better all the time, and with the advent of
Network PC's that need to conatin the most inexpensive of hardware, I believe
Keepered Media will have several years of success. In addition, there is no
ruling out KM from working with MR technology, or with Iomega Zip drives (for
example) that may keep KM on a very long and successful, money-making
careeer.

KM is going to reap a certain amount of benefit for Ampex and its
shareholders. This benefit could be quite extreme if Ampex further develops
KM for use in applications other than inductive head technology.

Long on Ampex,

I would guess that Fridays volume was options related. Remember a few weeks

unwound.

New Individual Investor update edition came in the mail yesterday. Exerpt
"....Ampex's stock is fairly valued trading at 21 times expected 1996
earnings, but if the computer hard-drive manufacturers license keepering, the
stock could double on the news. An answer is expected in the next 2 months.
If keepering does not pan out, expect Ampex's stock to fall to $6, or even
$5. Investors should not panic if this happens, and should view the drop as
a buying opportunity. Ampex should earn $0.50/share in 1997 without
keepering, and the stock deserves a 15 to 20 multiple. This values the
shares at $7.50 to $10."

I subscribe to and get a kick out of Individual Investor. But I remember
early last year when AXC had surged to over 5, and with the time lag on
publication, they came out and said it was a good buy up to 4. Stock
immediately fell back sharply. Later in the year they said their target was
10 all along ( and AXC has made their earnings numbers consistently this
year. Why should their targets jump around so?). Last month they said anyone
should be comfortable buying under 8, but that the core value of the business
was 5??? Now they say it is fairly valued in the 7s?? Forgive me if I don't
take their analysis too seriously.I do take Bramson's analysis seriously
....400,000 shares purchased just below 7. The unusually wide range of
potential outcomes in this stock continue to make it something of a high
stakes gamble, but I sure continue to be delighted with the odds.In my
opinion, patience is the only ingredient necessary to turn it from a gamble
into a pretty good to great investment over time. Very good luck to all.

I bet a lot of people were happy that Ampex closed above 7.5. The Nov 7 1/2
didn't expire wortless!! Extremely high volume on Dec 7 1/2's. Must be a
lot of people sure something is up by the third friday of Dec.! Volume has
increased on options much more than the stock itself percentage wise. This
seems to be a very good sign!

If you believe that the DOW is in for some down days soon, you might be able
to buy AXC in the 6's. I'm still bullish on AXC, but the posts here are all
VERY bullish, which says to me that there are some down days ahead.
Sorry............call me overly cautious.

for what its worth, and I couldn't even guess, when I stopped by for 30
seconds at the AXC
booth at the Unix Expo show in NYC, the man there could not quite make out
who I was, but
whispered that Quantum was looking at the DST. They definitely have a
keepering technology,
I saw it in action.

Ja and Ja. Thanks for the post, but I don't exactly understand it. What did
he mean by "looking at the DST". Did you see a drive with a keepered platter?
Why did he whisper?

I have no clue why he was so secretive, it was if he wasn't supposed to be
telling me something.
Believe me, I put zero pressure on him. I saw the machine, working.
ESystems had a similiar
machine which was near it.
