Everything about ACCESS.bus
Computer peripheral bus; predecessor to USB
ACCESS.bus, or A.b for short, is a peripheral-interconnect computer bus developed by Philips and DEC in the early 1990s, based on Philips' I²C system. It is similar in purpose to USB, in that it allows low-speed devices to be added or removed from a computer on the fly. While it was made available earlier than USB, it never gained the popularity of USB. Wikipedia →
