Syncronys Launches MacAccess2; `Now Your PC Speaks Mac'
MacAccess2 Features Instant Mac Compatibility For Removable Media
And An
Extensive List Of File Types
CULVER CITY, Calif. Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Syncronys Softcorp
(OTC: SYCR) today announced it has launched MacAccess2, a PC utility
software program which allows a PC to mount, and then read, write and
format Mac-floppy disks and a variety of Mac removable media such as
the popular Iomega Zip and Jaz drives. The first shipments to
distributors and catalog houses will commence Monday, September 30, and
a free demo version is now available at www.syncronys.com.
MacAccess2 is an affordable software solution to bridge the Mac-PC
chasm. It offers instant Mac compatibility under Windows 95, Windows
3.1 and DOS carries a highly competitive estimated street price of
$29.95. Utilizing proprietary Syncronys technology, MacAccess2 enables
a PC to format a disk from Mac to PC and back, and can translate more
file types than ever before including long files names under Windows95.
Rainer Poertner, Syncronys chief executive officer, said,
"MacAccess2 is the second of several new products we are introducing in
the second half of 1996 to rapidly build Syncronys' earnings power by
meeting the needs of the technology marketplace with powerful, cost
effective software solutions. Consumers will find MacAccess2 a
versatile program that bridges the communications barrier between the
PC and Mac operating systems through a wide universe of files types and
removable media.
"The graphic design market, for instance, is predominantly
MacIntosh based yet serves a corporate clientele which is predominantly
PC based. With MacAccess2, the corporate client can insert a
Mac-formatted Zip cartridge and read and edit the file directly on the
PC," Poertner added.
Headquartered in Culver City, California, Syncronys Softcorp is a
leading developer of PC and Mac memory enhancement and performance
software. Syncronys maintains a home page at www.syncronys.com.
