Hi,

what devices and host controllers for ACCESS.bus existed?
I looking for devices with standardized connector similar like RJ11 but with side keys.

I know only one controller card:
Forte VIP card for VFX1 HMD. 16bit ISA card combining access.bus with video signal for headgear. One video combined connector and one standardized Access.bus connector
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFX1_Headgear#/ … rface_Board.jpg

First device is, of course, VFX1 headgear which used Access.bus for headtracking. Access.bus signal from VIP card is included in main video cable. One connector for second device is provided.

Second device is from Forte Technologies again. It is a CYBERPUCK, free air VR joystick. Can be connected to helmet or directly to VIP card.
(second Cyberpuck was for standard gameport)

Has someone know more devices or different cards?

Today i found articles about VGA monitors with Access.bus. I know NEC and Nokia used it for very short time.
