		The ACCESS.bus Software Creator's Contest
		=========================================
ABIG is launching the ACCESS.bus Software Creator's Contest.  
Programmers, students hobbyists or professional, can now create 
new and exciting software applications that take advantage of 
ACCESS.bus, the latest technology that is rapidly becoming the 
next cross platform standard in computer connectivity.

By participating in the contest you will not only have a chance 
to win some cool prizes, but also to gain valuable programming 
knowledge and experience.  It is a way to get a first taste of 
the vast opportunities ACCESS.bus opens up to computer 
users....AND win great prizes while doing it, too.

Some of the PRIZES you can win are: a digital camera, 
productivity software, an ergonomic keyboard, a color TV, and 
more...

WHAT IS ACCESS.bus?

ACCESS.bus is a new open industry standard for computer 
peripheral connectivity.  It opens doors to multi-user, multi-
peripheral applications that until noew were virtually impossible 
(or were too costly!).  ACCESS.bus is a serial protocol that uses 
simple, low-cost I2C technology to link multiple devices to a 
single PC port.  Peripheral devices such as keyboards or keypads, 
locators (Mice, Trackballs, Joysticks), printers, VR gloves, 
digitizers, sensors, actuators or data transmitters and others 
can be easily daisy chained to the host PC through a single port.  
Applications such as CAD/CAM, Data Acquisition, Simulation, 
Virtual Reality, Multiple-Player/Single PC Games, Education and 
many, many more can now take advantage of ACCESS.bus, the 
technology that puts Plug and Play on every PC.


	A TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION of the ACCESS.bus is posted in this 
	and other newsgroups.
