FREMONT, Calif. — M-Systems Flash Disk Pioneers Ltd., maker of the popular DiskOnChip flash disk (used in many embedded Linux applications), today announced that DiskOnChip Millennium has been named as a top-performer in the EE Product News' 1999 Products of the Year competition published in the December 1999 issue. EE Product News' mission is to provide design engineers with information on the latest product offerings for their next-generation prototype designs. The publication targets design engineers and engineering managers as its exclusive audience; circulation is approximately 120,000.

EE Product News looked at products by services that garnered the largest inquiry response from readers over a 12-month period. By tallying reader response and rating the top draws, the editors of EE Product News allowed engineers and engineering managers an effective way to see which products generated the most interest among their OEM community peers. “With the introduction of the DiskOnChip Millennium, we realized with the immediate customer acceptance and excitement that we had made an extraordinary break through in flash technology,” said Chuck Schouw, president of M-Systems, Inc. “This recognition from EE Product News further validates DiskOnChip's contribution to the engineering community.”

“The award is a significant endorsement of the extraordinary balance of features, performance, ease-of-use and price that DiskOnChip provides to the engineering professional,” said Matthew T. Reseska, EE Product News publisher. “Our readers, who are all engineers and engineering managers involved in prototype design, will use this to help them decide which components, equipment and systems products to buy.”
