About the manufacturer

This computer was manufactured in June 1989 by the Hewitt Rand Corporation of Richmond BC. The company was one of several BC computer manufacturers in the 80s and 90s, of which the best known was probably Seanix. Hewitt Rand was founded in 1983 and was acquired by Merit Distributing in 1999. It appears to have dropped off the face of the earth shortly thereafter.
