New Product Announcement - USB interfaces

Simtec Electronics are pleased to announce a range of USB interfaces for
the RISC OS market.

There are two versions. One is an ISA card (USB11-isa) suitable for the
RiscStation R7500. The other is a podule version (USB11-pod) suitable
for Acorn computers, such as the RISC PC, A7000, A5000 and even an A310!

This is the culmination of a two year development. One of the main
objectives has been to simplify the writing of device drivers to ensure
that the widest range of USB peripherals can be supported. With this in
mind, we have been co-operating with a number of developers for almost
twelve months to improve the developer API and to ensure that peripheral
drivers are available as soon as the interfaces are released.

The cards, including basic drivers, will be shipping in July 2002 and
should cost ukp79.00 (+vat and carriage). Additional drivers will be
available at extra cost from our development partners.
