----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The July 1992 SBus Developer List is also available in the SunFlash
archive servers as a single compressed file e.g. on solar.nova.edu
it is:
	42948    pub/sunflash.1992/sbus-july.21.Z

The next four articles are the 16 chapters of the SBus developer
list group so that no article is greater that 32Kbytes.

Thanks to Harold Sonenklar (Harold.Sonenklar@Corp.Sun.Com) for
putting this list together.

Note that there are embedded control-l (page feed) characters in these
articles.  If you remove the SunFlash headers and cat these 5 articles
together, the result should print OK.

SBus has seen a tremendous spurt of development activity since the last SBus
Developers List was published in January, 1992.	 With over 90 new SBus cards,
there now total over 340 SBus cards available from 132 developers worldwide.
One third of the developers are based outside the United States.

SBus is following the computer industry in turning towards graphics
and multimedia applications and workgroup connectivity.	 The greatest
number of new SBus applications come in the graphics area.  Networking
and communications follows, with several new products enabling direct high-
speed inter-machine connectivity.  The greatest percentage increase in SBus
applications occur in the digital signal processing/audio-voice-speech areas,
with several applications directly related to telecommunications.

A list of known SBus products available (or soon to be) is attached.  This
listing does not represent all SBus projects under development.	 It includes
only those vendors who have authorized Sun to make their projects known.

If you have product requirements different from what you see below,
please forward those requirments to Harold Sonenklar with as much
information as possible (customer contact, specific requirments,
demand, etc.)

Similarly, if you are aware of existing SBus products that you do not
see on the list, or you are aware of SBus products under development, please
forward any information you have so that I can maintain an accurate
listing.

Sun Microsystems Comptuer Corporation (SMCC) makes no recommendation as
to the suitability of a product from a particular vendor for a given
application.  SMCC has not qualified or reviewed any claims made about
the product features or functions, nor is SMCC responsible for their
accuracy.  No SBus vendor is authorized to act as an agent of SMCC or
to commit SMCC in any way con- cerning SMCC products and their
functionality, availability, or price.
