Unisys Plans To Include Iomega's Zip Drive In Its PCs; Zip Expected To Be
Standard Feature In Select Aquanta PCs And Option Across Entire PC Line
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 1996--Iomega Corp. (NASDAQ:IOMG) today
announced that Unisys Corp. plans to incorporate Iomega's popular Zip drive as a standard
feature into select models of its new Aquanta line of customized PCs, as well as offer Zip as an
option across its entire range of personal computers beginning in the third quarter of 1996.
Starting in July, Unisys has announced that it expects to ship selected Aquanta DM and Aquanta
DX models with the Zip drive installed as part of a standard configuration. Customers would also
have the option to have the Zip drive installed in any Unisys PC.

vice president and general manager of the Unisys personal computer division. "We see Zip as the
perfect way to satisfy our customers' demands for a flexible and reliable storage solution."

giving consumers unlimited capacity, increased flexibility, and a built-in back-up system. Advanced
data management software, through Iomega's Zip Tools software, is also included with the drive,
making it easy for consumers to manage, share and save their information.
