Alloy Computer Products

Alloy Computer Products is an Australian manufacturer of information technology products based near Melbourne. As of 2007, the company currently markets networking and VoIP products. The company was originally based in Framingham, Massachusetts and by 1990 was part of the Fortune 500. At one point Alloy was a major producer of QIC format tape drives and other computer peripherals. In the mid 90's the company was no longer profitable and was bought out by management team from the Australian division. It no longer operates as a manufacturer or as an American corporation.

Alloy Computer Products, Inc., was founded in 1979. Alloy Computer Products developed and marketed multi user computer systems for the emerging microcomputer marketplace. Later Alloy became involved in backup systems, tape drives and printing accelerator hardware. Alloy grew to $50 million in annual sales by 1986 and executed a successful IPO in June of that year. Alloy had an installed based on 150,000 users by the early 1990s, largely small businesses, comprise a relatively significant portion of the multiuser DOS marketplace. One DOS based computer was equipped with a multi-user DOS call "Multiware" and hardware to provide serial connectivity to up to 16 dumb terminal clients. If a problem arose with a single terminal it could be rebooted without an effect on other terminals attached. Later "Multinode" was introduced to meet client needs operating under the Novell network operating system allowing both Client/Server network connectivity as well as serial terminal users.

Seattle Computer Products

Seattle Computer Products (SCP) was a Seattle, Washington computer hardware company which was one of the first manufacturers of computer systems based on the Intel 8086 processor.^[1] It was staffed partly by high-school students from nearby communities who soldered and assembled the computers. Some of them would later work for Microsoft.

Twenty-two-year-old Tim Paterson was hired in June 1978 by SCP's owner Rod Brock. In 1980, Paterson wrote the 86-DOS operating system, also known as QDOS (for Quick and Dirty Operating System)^[1] over a four-month period. Microsoft, seeking an operating system for the IBM Personal Computer, bought the rights to market the system to other manufacturers for $25,000 in December 1980. Prior to the PC launch, Microsoft bought the full rights to the system for an additional $50,000. Realizing that Microsoft was making significant profit on the DOS operating system, SCP attempted to sell the operating system along with a stand-alone inexpensive CPU (without any other circuitry), which was allowed as per the marketing agreement with Microsoft in order to allow SCP to continue selling the operating system with their 8086-based computers; this operating system was marketed as "Seattle DOS", and the CPU was included in the box. SCP later accused Microsoft of defrauding it by not revealing that IBM was a customer (although this appears to have been Microsoft's right under the marketing agreement), and Microsoft settled the claim in 1986 by paying an additional $1 million.

SCP is no longer in business as the market for Intel 8086 systems became dominated by PC compatible computers.
