NEWS RELEASE
Doc. No.:	PR/95-030	



Washington, D.C., April 13, 1995 -- The JTC 1 TAG announces the U.S. 
Submission of IEEE Std 896.2-1991 for Fast-Track processing in JTC 1.

IEEE Std 896.2-1991, IEEE Standard for Futurebus+ - Physical Layer and 
Profile Specification, is a composite draft of two separate standards.  The 
first was approved as IEEE Std 896.2 by the IEEE Standards Board in 
September 1991 and received the ANSI Board of Standards Review 
approval in June 1992; the second standard was approved as IEEE Std 
896.2a by the IEEE Standards Board in March 1994 and received the ANSI 
Board of Standards Review approval in August 1994.  This architecture 
provides a wide range of performance scalability over both cost and time 
for multiple generations of single- and multiple-bus multiprocessor 
systems.  This document, a companion standard to ISO/IEC 10857:1994 
[ANSI/IEEE Std 896.1, 1994 Edition], builds on the logical layer by adding 
requirements for physical layer instantiation.

Copies of this standard may be obtained from the IEEE Customer Service 
Department, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ  08855-1331 
or call (800) 687-4433.
