Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
        Condition and Results of Operations


                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                   (March 31, 1995 vs. September 30, 1994)

    The level of cash and cash equivalents increased by $397,860 during the
period. Operating activities generated cash flows of $424,204 during the six
month period ended March 31, 1995.  A decrease in accounts receivable by
$978,703 and depreciation expense of $361,089 were partially offset by
increased inventory of $228,302, a reduction in accounts payable of $566,201
and a reduction in accrued expenses of $146,325.  Investing activities used
cash primarily for equipment purchases totaling $344,779 while, financing
activities generated cash flows of $285,790 primarily from the issuance of
common stock to employees.

    Management feels there is adequate liquidity to meet the on-going
operating needs of the Company.


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                  (Three and six months ended March 31, 1995
           compared to three and six months ended March 31, 1994.)


    Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased by 4% to $3,107,308
when compared to sales of $2,986,971 for the same period last year.  Sales for
the six month period of fiscal 1995 were up 9% to $6,775,835 when compared to
$6,215,614 for the same period last year.  Revenue growth for the second
quarter was less than anticipated.  A few significant customers did not take
product shipments in their expected volumes, due to varying business situations
of these customers.  In spite of the lower than anticipated revenues in the
current quarter, the Company expects continued improved sales over last year.

    Gross profit margins, as a percent of sales, for the most recent three and
six month periods were 46.9% and 45.9% respectively compared to 50.0% and 48.0%
respectively for the same periods last year.  The decrease is attributed to
initial shipments of larger capacity disk array products and disk drive only
sales, which carry a lower margin.  The Company continues to monitor product
costs and anticipates gross margins to be at their current levels for the
remainder of the year.





                                      -6-

    Marketing expenses, as a percent of sales, were 28.6% for the second
quarter and 26.7% for the six month period of fiscal year 1995, compared to
29.2% and 28.0% respectively for the same periods last year.  Expenses, as a
percent of sales, for both periods of fiscal year 1995 decreased due to
increased sales volume when compared to the same periods last year.  The actual
dollar spending for the current periods is higher than last year mainly due to
an increase in the number of sales people, and territories, to address the
growing product markets.  Marketing expenses are expected to be higher than
last year's levels for the remainder of the fiscal year.

    General and administrative expenses were 10.7% for the second quarter and
9.7% for the six month period of fiscal year 1995 compared to 11.2%  and 10.3%
respectively for the same periods last year.  The percentage decrease is
largely due to the higher sales volume in fiscal 1995, when compared to the
previous periods.  Actual dollars of spending held relatively flat from period
to period for both the second quarter and six month periods.  General and
administrative expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year are expected to be
approximately 8-10% of sales.

    Research and development spending was $431,442 for the second quarter and
$809,094 for the six month period of fiscal year 1995, compared to $397,023 for
the second quarter and $805,357 for the six month period of last year.  The
second quarter and six month period spending, as a percent of sales, was 13.9%
and 11.9% respectively compared to 13.3% and 13.0% respectively for the same
periods last year.  Actual dollar spending for the quarter was higher due to
new product development expenses for the 6900 disk array recently announced,
and future generation array products.  Research and Development spending for
the remainder of the year should be in line with management's objective of 10
to 14 percent of sales.

    Other income (expense) reflects interest and royalty income generated during
the second quarter and six month periods from investment of excess cash
balances and technology agreements with customers.  The second quarter and six
month periods of fiscal 1994 also reflect a $110,000 charge for an unrealized
loss on the adjustment to market valuation for marketable securities.  There
was no such adjustment recorded during the current year periods.
