Subject: Wong's Electronics as keyboard manufacturer

There's an AWC keyboard at the bottom of this page:

Notice that there's an AWC monogram on the PCB.

That's the exact same monogram that appears on the Type 1 (Futaba) and Type
4 (SMK) keyboards:

Until now I've just presumed that the monogram represented somebody at Acorn.

I just dug up Wong's Electronics again -- take a look at their logo:

Whoever AWC were, they seem to be related to Wong's Electronics, and both
are in Hong Kong. Wong's logo contains a modified monogram with the strange
"A" shape replaced with a "W" for "Wong's".

So we know that the Type 1 keyboard was made by AWC/Wong's of Hong Kong,
not Futaba. The Type 3 keyboard ("PED") is unbranded. The Type 2 keyboard
is SMK branded.
