Castle Technology Ltd are delighted to announce that X-Ample Technology bv
of the Netherlands have been appointed as a distributor for the all new
32-bit IYONIX pc. This exciting new RISC OS machine was launched in the UK
at the time of the Birmingham RISC OS Show on 30th November 2002.

Paul Reuvers, Managing Director of XAT, has organised two events to enable
Dutch users to see this new machine for themselves. The first will be on
Friday 13th December at XAT's showroom in Oss in the south of the country.
This event will run from 14.00 to 19.00 with continuous demonstrations of
the IYONIX pc. Jack Liilingston, Managing Director of Castle, will also be
on hand to answer questions, and XAT will have the IYONIX pc in stock.
Customers who have pre-ordered an IYONIX pc from XAT will also be able to
collect their machine at the same time.

The second event will be held on Saturday 14th November in Delft as guests
of Geodelta, a long-standing customer of XAT. Geodelta have been using RISC
OS computers almost from their first introduction. This event will last from
10.00 till 15.00, again with demonstrations and machines for sale, subject
to availability.

Full details of both events are at XAT's new web site for the IYONIX at
http://www.iyonix.nl including a detailed specification of the IYONIX pc and
directions to both venues.

X-Ample Technology bv have been selling RISC OS machines since their
introduction back in 1986 in both home user and professional markets. "We
recognise the true potential of this new and exiting machine", says Paul
Reuvers, Managing Director of XAT. "The IYONIX pc will definitely bring the
RISC OS market to the attention of many more computer enthusiasts and we
expect existing users to be just as excited we are. Furthermore we expect
the machine to be used for a range of professional applications, where the
increased profile of the IYONIX pc will be a virtue".

Jack Lillingston added "We are delighted to appoint X-Ample Technology as
our Dutch distributor. The widely acclaimed NEW IYONIX pc - the first ever
XScale desktop computer - has a huge potential with its virtually silent
operation, fast boot time and easy to use software. We wish Paul and his
team all the best".

Anyone expecting to attend one of the above events is asked to send a brief
email to info@iyonix.nl.
