RE: INSYNC SYSTEMS, INC. (the "Company")
WITHDRAWAL OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM 8-A
------------------------------------------------
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
On October 1, 1997, we submitted for filing, (i) a Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (file number 333-36979) (the "S-1 Registration Statement") and (ii)
a Registration Statement on Form 8-A (the "8-A Registration Statement"). At the
time of filing the 8-A Registration Statement, we requested that the 8-A
Registration Statement become effective concurrently with the S-1 Registration
Statement. However, the Company has elected to not proceed with the public
offering relating to the S-1 Registration Statement at this time. Therefore, we
hereby request that the 8-A Registration Statement be withdrawn from your files
and that the 8-A Registration Statement not become effective. We have applied
for the withdrawal of the S-1 Registration Statement via a separate letter.
If you have any questions or comments, please call Julia Schwartzman at
(650) 493-9300 or the undersigned at (408) 934-3100.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Terence J. Griffin,
Terence J. Griffin,
Chief Financial Officer
