Veteran journalist Ernie Smith has written the newsletter Tedium since 2015, covering “the history of things that usually don’t have histories written about them.” Smith recently published an article on ACCESS.bus, which he described as a “forgotten attempt” to create a universal serial bus standard for computer peripherals before, well, the Universal Serial Bus standard. Apparently, ACCESS.bus was so forgotten that the only video evidence Smith could find of its existence came from a 1994 Computer Chronicles episode.
