Quantel are local to me here in Newbury UK. They are still very much in
business although they don't make the headlines these days. Some years ago I
ran a wiring business and Quantel were a major customer.
We used to (literally) wire up their prototype boards. We used Kynar wire
wrap wire to connect the IC pads. They had elongated pads with extra drilled
holes and the wiring went on the component side.
Lots and lots of TTL.!!

Definately confusing.
I'd love to have paintbox stuff, but I've never seen it anywhere.

Nice... I was about to respond with information
that the father of one
of my colleagues was head of R&D at Quantel in the early days. Then I
spotted that there's a Quantel and a Qantel. How confusing is that?!
The same Quantel that designed (and sold) the Paintbox graphics editing
systems?
