DECvet IBM Plug compatible failures 0 May 9 2007, 1:29 AM EDT by DECvet

A number of companies entered the 2314 and 3330 plug compatible market with big intentions and spending many R&D dollars. Some never shipped a product. The purpose of this entry is to catalog those that tried but failed to bring a product to market or who who did but had a very short life. I think Ampex, Telex & Marshall all qualify and there are probably many more.
