No, Nixdorf was a significant player in the computer business in Europe,
especially.
Wikipedia says they were the 4th largest computer maker in Europe at one
time.
Nixdorf was eaten by Siemens 1990 to form Siemens Nixdorf
Informationssysteme (SNI).
I worked for SNI in Munich in 1991-92 porting SVR4 (branded as SINIX) to
a new 386-based multiprocessor system they were developing. I heard
there was a MIPS-based system that used the same chassis under
development at what had been Nixdorf in Paderborn.
