               DAUPHIN COMPLETES SUNCOAST AUTOMATION ACQUISITION


Palatine, IL July 10, 2001 Dauphin Technology Inc. (OTC.BB: DNTK) announced
today that it has completed the acquisition to purchase all the assets of
Suncoast Automation, a subsidiary of ProtoSource. (NASDAQ: PSCO) Suncoast, a
Florida-based provider of private, interactive cable systems, currently has
nearly 4,000 units under long-term, 7-15 year, contracts to provide a bundled
package of basic cable TV, premium programming, video games and high-speed
Internet access to the extended stay hospitality industry. Terms of the
transaction were not disclosed.

"The purchase of Suncoast Automation by Dauphin is the single best thing to
happen for Suncoast since its inception," commented Mark Blanchard, Suncoast's
Vice President and General Manager. "The combined resources of both companies
make Suncoast a real player in the industry. Our organization is ecstatic over
this opportunity."

"Consistent with our strategy to aggressively pursue the hospitality
marketplace, we completed the Suncoast acquisition rather quickly," stated
Christopher Geier, Dauphin's Executive Vice President. "Not only are we excited
to move set-top boxes through this channel, Suncoast has developed an
innovative, compelling revenue model whereby property owners receive recurring
revenues from additional programming fees and high speed Internet access. With
the units already under contract and several pending contracts, the Suncoast
division is projecting a $4 million run rate by year's end with a run rate of
over $23 million and EBITDA of $11 million for 2002," he continued.
