I would like to solicit your help. As part of my
research for a project
that will benefit this Classic Computer Community, I am trying to assemble
an exhaustive database of companies who manufactured what is now classic
computer hardware and software. For the moment, I am focusing only on
hardware. Software will be the next project.
One starting point to consider is to look at the show guide/directory of
Comdex.
At its peak in the mid 1980s, Comdex had literally thousands of
exhibitors. The show guide has their addresses and phone numbers, with a
short paragraph of their hype.
