Blue Chip Electronics
- ... that Blue Chip Electronics' low-cost Blue Chip PC was manufactured by Hyundai? Source: "Blue Chip Electronics has contracted with Hyundai for 120,000 units of the Blue Chip PC" (Bannister 1986, p. 6.)
- ALT1:... that Hyundai was originally commissioned by Blue Chip Electronics to manufacture their printers but ended up producing Blue Chip's computer instead? Source: '"We were looking for a company to make our printers," ... "so we went to Hyundai Electronics America. But during the discussions, we learned they had a personal-computer project in the works. The next thing I know we're selling computers... and we're still looking for somebody to make our printers"' (Hawkins 1987, p. 28.)
- Comment: ALT0 may not be that exciting at face value, but not many people know (at least from my experience in the US) that Hyundai is a large conglomerate rather than just a car company.
