FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
E.DIGITAL RECEIVES PATENT
FOR MicroOS™ FLASH MEMORY FILE SYSTEM
MicroOS Supports IBM's New Microdrive Technology
SAN DIEGO, September 14, 1998---E.Digital (OTC: EDIG) announced that it has received the third in a series of patents protecting its core technology. United States Pat. No. 5,787,445 covers the MicroOS™, a file system devised by the Company that improves file management in devices utilizing flash memory. In addition to flash memory compatibility, the MicroOS contains built-in support for IDE hard disks and is fully MS-DOS compatible.
"This patent protects some of our most important intellectual property," stated Fred Falk, President and CEO. "MicroOS is poised for inclusion in a number of devices, such as increasingly-popular digital voice recorders, solid state music players and digital cameras."
Mr. Falk continued, "In addition, the recent introduction of IBM's 340MB capacity 'microdrive' technology permits inexpensive development of compact music and video recorders. MicroOS has been ready for the portable digital music and video explosion for some time, but was limited by the relatively high expense and low capacities available in portable devices. We see
great potential for our MicroOS to be part of a new generation of powerful video and music products based on IBM's microdrive technology."
EDIG's MicroOS stores and manipulates compressed voice, image, text, graphic or video files. The highly compacted and optimized C code delivers high performance for manipulating large amounts of digital data even in the smallest applications, and it can support an unlimited number of files, directories, and subdirectories.
