[net.micro.cpm] XCOMP computer co.

valencia@vger.UUCP (05/19/85)

   For some of you, this will be a repost. However, I got nary a nibble
with the limited domain I last chose, so I am now posting to a larger
audience. Please give me a hand if you know of this company, as I am
currently stuck. Thanks...

   I recently bought a pair of XCOMP cards--a hard disk controller
card, and a Z-80 S-100 host interface card. Without doc. I know, but
the price was RIGHT. My normal sources have availed me nought in
locating this company, so now I appeal to net-readers. Can someone
pass me the address, phone #, what-have-you for this company? Please
respond to this message via net.micro.cpm, as I am solemnly assured
that netmail otherwise doesn't make it in here.

				Thanks in advance,
				Andy Valencia

As requested I am replying via the net.

XCOMP exists (or used to exist ) at

			7566 Trade Street
			San Diego, CA 92121
			(619) 271-8730
They used to advertise in BYTE(tm) etc but I haven't looked lately.
The version you have would be the ST/S for S100 use. It is a 
microprogrammable controller for ST506 type drives. Early versions
supported 5mb drives but later they came out with 16's.

If you need more detailed information , feel free to contact me by
mail.
