IRVINE, CA - May 9, 1997 -- A London court ruled today in favor of Amstrad,     
PLC, which had sued Seagate Technology, Inc. for claimed defects in hard drives 
Seagate had provided to the British computer manufacturer. Amstrad also filed a 
lawsuit against Western Digital Corporation concerning the same series of       
computers in California in 1991, and that litigation is still pending.          

     Michael Cornelius, Vice President, Law for Western Digital, said that
he has not yet seen the opinion in the Seagate case, and therefore cannot       
comment on the specifics of the case or the court's ruling. However, although   
both cases involve Amstrad computers in the 2000 series, the underlying facts   
of the cases are quite different. For example, in the English case, Seagate     
essentially acknowledged a particular design problem with its drive, although   
it disputed the significance of that problem. By contrast, in the U.S.-based    
Western Digital case, Amstrad, after more than five years of litigation, has    
yet to identify the defect it claims affected the Western Digital drives. Mr.   
Cornelius added that Western Digital remains confident that the allegations     
concerning its drives are unfounded and that it will prevail in its litigation  
against Amstrad.
