                   DATARAM DISCLOSES COMPLAINT

PRINCETON, NJ, October 15, 1996 Dataram Corporation (AMEX: DTM) 

Dataram Corporation announced today that it has been served with
a Complaint filed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. alleging that certain
of Dataram's memory boards violate five patents issued to Sun.
Sun's marketing department has made such allegations in the past
against Dataram and other independent memory board manufacturers.
Dataram continues to believe it has a right to manufacture and
sell its Sun compatible memory boards, none of which violate any
intellectual property rights of Sun Microsystems.

     Robert Tarantino, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Dataram Corporation, said, "It is not our intention to submit to
what we believe is a heavy handed marketing approach being
utilized by Sun. It is most unfortunate that Sun Microsystems, a
company which over the years has deserved the reputation of being
an innovator in its field, has chosen to compete in the courtroom
rather than in the marketplace." 

     Mr. Tarantino noted that three of the five patents do not
even involve Dataram memory products. "Sun is well aware that
these patents are useless in the production of quality memory
boards."

     "The remaining two patents are invalid as they merely
restate prior art in the field, including Dataram's own prior
art. Dataram believes its products do not infringe any valid Sun
Microsystems patent. Dataram has been in the business of
manufacturing and selling memory systems for thirty years and
during that time has earned the respect of its customers and
competitors for the quality of its products and the integrity of
its organization. The Company routinely reviews filed patents
before going to market, and in its entire history has never
before been accused of violating another company's intellectual
property rights."

     According to Mr. Tarantino, as a result of the step taken by
Sun, Dataram will be compelled to file counterclaims seeking
appropriate redress from Sun for its current program of
"marketing" through product disparagement, its abusive misuse of
its patent portfolio and its interference with Dataram's existing
and potential customer relationships.

     Dataram Corporation is a manufacturer and marketer of
quality memory boards for workstations, servers, and personal
computers.
