SUN MICROSYSTEMS REPORTS $10.3 MILLION SALE TO DAZIX
		DAZIX Orders New SPARC Systems

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --September 11, 1989-- Sun Microsystems today
reported that Daisy/Cadnetix Inc. (DAZIX (TM)), a leading supplier of
electronic design automation (EDA) solutions, purchased $10.3 million
of Sun equipment during Sun's fourth quarter (April-June).  DAZIX, one
of Sun's major resellers in the EDA market, has already begun shipping
these systems bundled with DAZIX' computer-aided engineering, design
and manufacturing (CAE/CAD/CAM) software and will sell them through the
company's 44-office worldwide network.

The systems DAZIX purchased were from Sun's SPARC (TM) product family,
including the SPARCstation TM  1 desktop system and SPARCstation 330
and 370 deskside workstations and servers.

"We have seen an enthusiastic response from the marketplace for DAZIX'
EDA applications running on the new SPARCstation family," said Buck
Feltman, DAZIX senior vice president of marketing. "With these
products, we are able to give our customers yet another increase in
performance, without an associated increase in price.  At the same
time, we are able to honor our ongoing commitment to open systems and
industry standards."

DAZIX supports all of Sun's hardware platforms, including the Sun-3
(TM) , Sun386i (TM)  and SPARC-based workstations.

The SPARCstation 1 can deliver 12.5 MIPS in a package smaller than an
IBM PC while offering many ease-of-use features.  Its processing power
and optional graphics capabilities enable the SPARCstation 1 to be used
throughout the electronic design process.

The SPARCstation 330 and 370 are the highest-performance systems Sun
offers, delivering 16 MIPS and 2.6 MFLOPS.  They provide the large
amounts of memory (up to 56 megabytes), extra disk storage and
expansion needed for a variety of high-end EDA applications.  In
addition, they are designed so that specialized subsystems and
high-speed accelerators can be added.

Sun Microsystems, Inc., headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., is a
leading worldwide supplier of network-based distributed computing
systems, including professional workstations, servers and UNIX(R)
operating system and productivity software.
