Subject: Anybody heard of a company called High Tech Research? (Also Z280)

According to the Jan/Feb Micro-Cornucopia:

HTR has been experiencing some"problems with the NCR video chips".  These 
problems are reported as being solved, but HTR may switch to Hitachi chips 
instead, which might add $50 to the price.  

The Advanced Concepts Engineering hard disk controller will be available as
a $99 option.

The bug-free Z280 is supposed to available in quantity by Jan. 1.  If HTR
stayed with the NCR chips, they were hoping to start production in Nov.;
if they switched to the Hitachi chips, production will be delayed until
the first of the year.  If any boards are produced before the bug-free Z280,
HTR will upgrade them for $40.
