Irvine, CA – November 26, 2001 – Users can now conveniently switch between
computers while sharing next generation USB peripherals.

IOGEAR has launched its MiniView III USB 2.0 KVM Peripheral (KVMP) sharing
switch, enabling users to take advantage of the increased speed of USB 2.0
devices. For the first time, users can control up to four computers, access

chain up to 127 operating systems. The new USB 2.0 technology offers
transfer rates of 480 mbps, 40 times faster than original USB technology.

through a direct connection, a hub or a switch,” said Miranda Su, director
of sales and marketing at IOGEAR, Inc. “IOGEAR offers a complete solution
for the networking environment with the added ability to share high speed
USB 2.0 devices. With this new product, IOGEAR has just made it simpler to

computers and an OSD (On-Screen Display) menu. The two and four port
