BIT's chipset, like a video chipset, will be incorporated onto mother- boards of the computer and inot peripheral devices. At Comdex '97 tradeshow, the pre-emininent showcase of new and emerging computer technologies, BIT's chipset demonstrated an ability to read every major type of SC presented, a feat that distinguished the company from its competitors. BIT PS/2 keyboard chipset is anticipated to be one of the most cost effective solutions for any keyboard manufacturer wishing to integrate a SC reader into their existing product line. In the near future, a SC equipped keyboard will be available in the consumer market, with a BIT PS/2 keyboard chipset tha complies with the PC/SC standard.
