CompuAdd Corporation

By admin , 15 December 2015

CompuAdd Corporation was an Austin, Texas manufacturer of personal computers. It assembled its product from components manufactured by others. CompuAdd created generic PC clone computers, but unlike most clone makers, had a large engineering staff. CompuAdd also created a Multimedia PC (MPC), the FunStation, and a Sun workstation clone, the SparcStation 1. CompuAdd was the largest clone PC manufacturer in Austin, Texas until 1993 and outsold PC's Limited (bankrupted and renamed Dell Computer Corporation). CompuAdd sold PCs to corporate, educational and government entities. CompuAdd Computers 386 was on the US Army's Mobile Missile System in Gulf War 1 (1991) and it was rated and tested by the Army for that use.
