As 3rd party vendors in the IBM plug-compatible arena went,
Memorex was pretty large. We had an IBM shop at Washington
University, but after the CPUs, practically the whole room
went to Memorex-supported gear. They get 3330-compatible
drives, later upgraded to 3350-compatible, and maybe later
upgraded again. They used Memorex 3674 controllers (they
had 2 of them). They had at least one Memorex 1270 com
controller. They had two 370/145s with AMS/Intersil 1 Meg
memory units, installed and supported by Memorex. I can't
recall specifics, but I think there were other memorex units
there, too.
