- They emerged from Orange, NSW, Australia. First time I have ever heard of them
- was at the World of Commodore show here in Sydney in July.

- Well, I have seen their stuff working at the show and was quite impressed.
- The boards didn't look as good as the ones being churned out by GVP or ICD,
- but I think that was mainly due to the fact that they were either prototypes
- or only manufactured in small quantities and on a budget.
-
- I liked their sampler, it was quite good. They also had a few surprises, like
- the 32-bit graphics system, CHIP RAM accelerator and their ethernet boards.
- I hope that they can penetrate the market both here in Australia and over-
- seas as well, because unlike the big names, these guys are really innovative.
