This section includes descriptions and references to free and
commercial software for the I²C Bus and lookalikes. FTP sites and BBSs
contain many quality packages and code samples for free.
For heavy duty use, you might prefer the many commercial packages that
are available. With the public domain (or free) stuff, you're usually
on your own. The commercial packages usually provide extensive
documentation and support.
