Re: <P.S. It is funny that the term "Intelogic" is accepted as a correct word by SI spell checker.> When I was in High School, I worked for a company called Datapoint in San Antonio TX. They made board level microcomputers (CPU, all other functions built from MSI and LSI parts) w/ built-in networking (Arcnet, a token ring network). When IBM introduced the IBM PC, it destroyed their old market. They did not adjust to the new market quick enough and eventually headed into bankruptcy. The rump company, spun off a service company call Intelogic Trace. Funny enough, the receivers for Datapoint intellectual property recently (1 or 2 ago?) sued Intel claiming infringement of computer based video conferencing patents. Datapoint had a working system back in 1983, that worked over Arcnet with a PC AT (Intel 80286). They sold primarily to medical offices who could afford it.
