Dynamic
Computer Systems began in the Spring of 1985, when personal
computers were in their infancy.
IBM was the majority supplier,
their product was very
expensive, it
offered very few amenities, and the processing speed was agonizingly
slow. The standard PC at that time with 64K of memory averaged
$3,500.00!
There was a definite need for
processing speed improvements,
substantial price reductions, and for equipment to make the computer an
important business tool.
DEVELOPMENT:
We
worked with a few Asian board manufacturers to develop a more advanced
computing platform
wherein we could
go beyond the basic 640K memory barrier at that time.
That being accomplished, we required a BIOS that could then
address the additional memory requirements.
Award then wrote a great BIOS
program for us
which gave us
the pioneering
ability to go beyond the 640K barrier.
Our local business partners
found this to be an invaluable tool which then subsequently became an
industry standard.
We progressed from 80286 CPU's to high speed 80386 CPU's, and then
followed the path to more advanced processing capacity.
Throughout the 80's and 90's we produced exceptionally functional
computing platforms which became, for some of our partners, the basis
for
early voice mail applications. Our computers were used first for the
Kaiser Permanente Hospitals voice mail "advice nurse" system.
CURRENTLY:
In early 2000, we
began moving away from the
computer
business as it became less innovative, more competitive, and definitely
less profitable.
Many of our platforms are still in use today with area businesses and
local emergency service providers.
Our involvement today is limited to wholehouse computer network wiring
and interfacing with DSL or cable modems.
