Item 5. Other Events.

On November 14, 1997, Intel Corporation ("Intel") sued the Company in U.S. 
District Court for the District of Delaware. Intel's complaint alleges that 
the Company, by making, using and selling devices, is willfully infringing 
four U.S. patents owned by Intel. Regarding each of these patents, Intel 
seeks a judgement that the Company has infringed on the patent, an injunction 
prohibiting further infringement, an accounting of all damages caused by the 
alleged infringement, treble the amount of damages caused by the alleged 
infringement and attorney's fees, costs and expenses. The Company believes 
that the allegations in the Intel complaint are without merit and intends to 
vigorously defend itself against such action. The Federal Trade Commission 
has initiated contact with the Company to gather information about the case.
