Stag expand in US
• Z80 MCB/16 microcomputer board • Z8000 DM development module • PDS 8000 (zg000 development system) as well as the entire range of Z80 printed circuit board subsystems. The Microsystems Division has been allocated an investment of £200 000 for the next twelve months. Over £100 000 of this budget has already been invested in recruiting a technical sales and service team and increasing the stock inventory. Ron Fraser, Director of Crellon Microsystems, is" confident of reaching £800 000 turnover this year with £ ¼M expected to result from sales of Zilog products.
Stag expand in US Stag Electronic Designs Limited, Welwyn Garden City, Herts, UK have announced the opening of a US company, Stag Systems Inc. Based in Palo Alto, California, the company has been formed to give support to US customers and to promote transatlantic exchange of programming techniques. In charge of the operation is Ed
Barnett, previously marketing manager at Zilog. Stag Systems will act primarily as a marketing office providing backing for appointed representative companies who will sell Stag products direct throughout the US. Eventually the company intends to manufacture in California. Stag offer a complete range of products including a range of CRTbased universal PROM and logic programmers.
Defence order for Scicon Scicon, a London-based computer systems company, has been awarded a contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to supply microprocessorbased communications equipment. The contract is eventually expected to exceed £0.5 M. The equipment wi][ provide e r r o r detection and correction functions and is to replace existing equipment on the Ministry's defence communications network. It operates on both hf radio and satellite circuits, and permits p o o r circuits to be used for the transmission of both telegraphic and computer-
recognizable information with a high level of integrity. It handles ITA No 2 and No 5 codes. The design of the equipment allows full duplex operation with channel multiplexing, thereby optimizing information throughput.
Grant for Imperial College A grant of £170 000 over five years has been awarded to Imperial College by the Wolfson Foundation to establish a support unit for research groups at the College working on industrial applications of microprocessors. The unit will be established to make available improved facilities to those groups which require access to a range of support equipment that cannot be provided at departmental level. The unit will provide equipment to function at system level and will form a focus of expertise based on a central pool of support equipment. It is planned that the unit will have a Director and two Research Assistants and will be located in the Department of Computing and Control; its equipment will include a number of universal emulators and logic analysers.
