here is another one... TANISYS CERTIFICATION LAB READY TO QUALIFY RAMBUS RIMM MODULES Business Editors & High-Tech Writers AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 1999--Tanisys Technology Inc. (Nasdaq:TNSU), a leading supplier of memory modules, today announced it has developed the capability to qualify new die revisions of Rambus(R) RDRAM(R) memory using OEM systems which utilize RIMM(tm) Module boards. The Tanisys certification laboratory is important to OEM customers because it assures them that new RDRAM revisions will run in their specific systems, where as industry standard validation results provide only high confidence that new RIMM Module revisions will run in their systems. Shipment of the latest versions of memory chips is important to OEMs because it provides end users the latest cost reduction and feature enhancement benefits. "We anticipate that leading semiconductor suppliers will frequently update their RDRAM designs in order to be as competitive as possible," said Chuck Comiso, Tanisys President and CEO. "We expect system suppliers will find internal qualification of the many revisions of RIMM Modules to exceed their resources. Tanisys will provide the capability of our certification lab to supplement customers' resources." "Many system suppliers today already exceed their internal resources qualifying DRAM shrinks on their systems with older memory technologies like SDRAM," said Sherry Garber of the leading market research firm Semico Research. "Rambus memory technology will likely increase the severity of this challenge, so Tanisys is wise to differentiate themselves from other module suppliers by offering this certification service." Tanisys Technology Inc. is a leading provider of customer-driven, quality computer products, as well as technical and logistical services to the electronics industry. Its outsourcing services include production order management and fulfillment.
