They changed their name to Morrow Designs.
George Morrow (R.I.P.) was a clever fellow; see the book of his quotations
(Sellam got his heirs to release rights).
His chief engineer Howard Fullmer (also R.I.P.) was heavy into S100, Z80,
and then 8088.
The Morrow lunchbox was a nice attempt. Morrow licensed its design to
Zenith. When the IRS wanted to place a BIG order, Zenith and Morrow were
in competition. The IRS waited until Zenith no longer had to pay
royalties, and Morrow Designs went belly up.
