It turns out that it is quite vague about the actual support, more of a catch your eye type of flyer (caught my eye). Title: ACCESS.BUS (tm) SUPPORT PRODUCTS SubT: Microchip offers a variety of IC products and tools that support ACCESS.bus systems. SubTback: Microchip's ACCESS.bus products are optimised for performance, low power consumption, small footprint and field programability. Offers 8-bit microcontrollers, high-density EEPROMs and battey control devices as solutions. It mentions that the 16C64 (40 pin) has biult-in firmware support for slave mode ACCESS.bus operation and field programmability. Gives main points of serial EEPROMs in hte 1-64kbit range. Mentions mouse and battery monitor embedded solutions. Suggests that one speak to a local salees office for more A.b support info.
