LSI LOGIC TO ACQUIRE SEEQ TECHNOLOGY IN $100 MILLION STOCK TRANSACTION

MILPITAS, CA - LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) and SEEQ Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SEEQ) today announced an agreement for LSI Logic to acquire SEEQ
Technology in a transaction where SEEQ shareholders will receive LSI Logic
Common Stock based on an exchange ratio of .1095 (subject to adjustment). The
transaction will be valued at approximately $100 million at the present LSI
Logic stock price and is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests.

LSI Logic anticipates completing the acquisition in its second quarter ended
June 30, and expects the transaction to be accretive to the company's earnings
per share during the course of the next 12 months. The acquisition is subject to
the customary closing conditions, including approval by SEEQ Technology
shareholders and is subject to regulatory review.

SEEQ Technology, which reported 1998 revenues of $28.1 million, is a leading
semiconductor designer of data communications products for the Internet-driven
networking market. SEEQ's solutions for its worldwide customers include Ethernet
MAC (media access controllers) and PHY (physical layer) transceivers.

"Through the acquisition of SEEQ Technology, LSI Logic will offer a broader set
of networking solutions to our customers, enhance our growth opportunities, and
increase value for our shareholders," said Wilfred J. Corrigan, LSI Logic
chairman and chief executive officer.

"We are gratified to have the opportunity to add our industry leading Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet solutions to the already impressive intellectual
property offerings that LSI Logic provides to its networking customer base,"
said Phil Salsbury, SEEQ president and chief executive officer. "Networking is a
rapidly accelerating market and we are ready to contribute to the LSI Logic
success story in this fast-moving arena."

John P. Daane, LSI Logic executive vice president for Communications, Computer
and ASIC Products, said that SEEQ's Ethernet solutions are used in a wide
variety of industry-leading applications, including networking interface cards,
hubs, routers, and switches.

"This focused acquisition is another tangible sign that LSI Logic intends to
build upon its Internet-based business strategy," said Daane. "SEEQ will provide
LSI Logic with additional mixed-signal design expertise, a talented corps of
engineers, and immediate access to its PHY transceiver IC technology. SEEQ will
also bring to LSI Logic networking standard products, and intellectual property
that can be incorporated into our CoreWare library."

Upon completion, the SEEQ purchase will mark LSI Logic's third acquisition in
the last two years. LSI Logic acquired Mint Technology Inc. in 1997, expanding
its engineering design services capability. Last year, LSI Logic completed the
$760 million strategic acquisition of Symbios, Inc., vaulting the company into a
leadership position in the storage components and storage systems markets. This
year, LSI Logic took the next step by agreeing to acquire SEEQ to bolster its
offerings to the high-growth networking market.

relating to the effect of the acquisition on earnings per share involve known
and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause the company's actual
results in future periods to be materially different from any performance
suggested in this release. Such factors may include, but may not necessarily be
limited to customer acceptance of the acquisition and continuing demand for SEEQ
Technology products. Also, the company's ability to successfully combine SEEQ
operations with its own, including retaining key employees, can impact the
company's financial performance. The timing of new technology and product
introductions anticipated from the acquisition are also important factors. In
the context of forward-looking information in this news release, reference is
