Calluna Technology Announces the World's First 260MB Type II PC Card Hard Disk Drive

NEW YORK-- Calluna Technology Ltd. today announces at PC EXPO the world's first 260MB Type II PC Card hard disk drive. At only 5mm, the disk drive is less than half the thickness of all current Type III PC Card disk drives from Calluna.

This new Type II Callunacard is based on the same magnetic recording technology as used in Calluna's 1GB Type III model. Specifically, it uses the same recording head and the same disk as the Type III drive. An innovative new mechanical and electronics design enables 260MB of data to be stored on just one disk, using one head within an overall format just larger than a credit card.

In response to this increasing demand for higher capacity storage from mobile devices, Calluna also announced that it plans additional developments with this exciting new technology. The company is in fact already looking at quadrupling storage capacity in the same Type II format within the next 12 months.

The new Type II 260MB Callunacard sells for a suggested retail price of just and will be available from a wide variety of computer retail and mail order outlets in the second half of 1999.
