Another piece of SNDK news from BW not posted in Yahoo. Top-Selling Sharp Power Zaurus Handheld Computer Now Supports SanDisk ATA Storage Cards BusinessWire, Monday, October 27, 1997 at 11:51 SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 1997--SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) announced today that Sharp's best-selling handheld computer, the Power Zaurus, now supports SanDisk ATA flash storage cards. SanDisk officials described the development as a significant design win for SanDisk giving the company a major new application for the sale of its popular memory cards. The Power Zaurus (MI-500) previously supported only proprietary, linear flash storage cards. The SanDisk announcement means the Power Zaurus will accept both standard Type II PC cards sold by SanDisk and SanDisk's small-size CompactFlash(TM)(CF(TM)) memory cards which can be used in the units with a CF adapter. Nelson Chan, SanDisk vice president of marketing, said, "This is great news for the many Power Zaurus owners. These ATA-based storage cards are interoperable between the huge number of mobile and desktop computers, digital cameras and other systems that operate on the ATA standard. This means that, for the first time, data, images and audio can be easily moved between a Power Zaurus and many platforms." SanDisk's ATA card success with the Power Zaurus was made possible by the SanDisk Software Host Developer's Tool Kit. The kit, introduced by SanDisk one year ago, allows product developers to easily create a DOS file structure for virtually any host processor used by the system. SanDisk Corporation, the world's largest supplier of flash data storage products, designs, manufactures and markets industry-standard, solid-state data, image and audio storage products using patented, high density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk has strategic alliances with Seagate Technology, Matsushita Electronic Corp., NEC Corp. and LG Semicon. Seagate holds a 25 percent equity stake in SanDisk. SanDisk is based in Sunnyvale.
