Griffin releases gPort OS X Software version 1.2 plus PowerMate SDK for developers New driver brings Jaguar compatibility to complete line of serial port adapters including g4Port, CubePort and the original gPort. Nashville, TN - August 16, 2002. Griffin Technology, Inc. has released OS X Software version 1.2 for its entire line of gPort Serial Adapters, including the popular g4Port. Just in time for the international release of Apple's newest operation system OS 10.2, this release brings complete compatibility to the new OS and further enhances performance and stability of all gPort devices. Griffin's gPort Serial Adapters adds an internal "board level" serial port to Apple PowerMacs, Cubes and CRT iMacs. This allows users continued access to their favorite serial port devices such as modems, printers, etc. The gPort OS X Software version 1.2 is a complete rewrite of the driver that provides improved stability and works more reliably when upgrading the OS. The release of gPort Software version 1.2 for Jaguar continues Griffin's tradition of enabling users to advance to the latest computers and OS releases, while retaining compatibility with their legacy serial port devices. "Now, with our gPort Adapters, serial port users won't have to remain stuck using an out-of-date OS or slower hardware just to retain their significant investment in their vital serial hardware devices. We give control back to our users, instead of their hardware controlling them", says Andrew Green, VP Marketing. Also released today are two PowerMate SDKs for developers on Macintosh OS X and Wintel platforms. The two SDKs provide a complete set of instructions on how to access the PowerMate hardware, including capturing the data being sent from the device and setting the brightness of the LED. This enables programmers to easily invent and implement completely new and unique applications for the PowerMate. gPort OS X Software version 1.2 is free and available immediately for download at http://www.griffintechnology.com/ Both PowerMate Software Developer Kits (SDKs) are available immediately. All interested developers may contact Griffin Technology by email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and request one or both of the PowerMate SDKs. -- About Griffin Technology, Inc.
