PACE Anti-Piracy Releases Standard Floppy Interface for iMac and G3 Systems; New USB Floppy Enabler Available Free from PACE Web Site San Jose, California -- March 10, 1999 -- PACE Anti-Piracy Inc., a leader in the development of anti-piracy systems for the Macintosh and Windows, today released an innovative solution for software developers whose customers use Apple Computerās new iMac and G3 floppyless computer systems. PACEās USB Floppy Enabler is a driver that emulates the floppy drive interface, making supported third-party external USB floppy drives work with floppy-based software products. PACE developed the USB Floppy Enabler in response to the needs of customers using its InterLok™ anti-piracy products, a fifth generation tool set for protecting, distributing and selling software. The USB Floppy Enabler currently supports Imationās SuperDisk and Newer Technologyās uDrive, two of the leading external USB floppy systems. PACE is working with several other major USB floppy drive manufacturers to ensure universal compatibility. "This driver will not only allow software products and content protected by InterLok™ to be authorized with PACEās KeyDiskettes, but it will also enable other developersā software products to access the new USB drives", said PACE president and CEO, Allen Cronce. "Our USB Floppy Enabler should be of interest to anyone with software that makes calls to the floppy drive." ćPACE's InterLok technology has been successfully protecting our Japanese font products for nearly ten years", said Jim DeLaHunt, Adobe Type Library Engineering Manager. "The floppyless PowerMac G3 machines presented us with a unique situation that called for an innovative solution. PACE's innovation has averted a major re-engineering expense and will help us provide uninterrupted distribution of our Japanese font products." The new USB Floppy Enabler is available for download from PACEās web site free of charge to end users. Software publishers and distributors can obtain a license for bundling the driver with their own products and for distributing it from their web sites by contacting PACE Sales.
