IIRC Unicomp is the result of a group of Lexmark suits buying Itty Bitty 
Machine Co's licence, design and production facilities rather than see
production end in favour of the cheaper (in every sense) cheesy Chinese 
rubber-dome (squishy) examples that the bean counters were dictating.

Back in the mid-1990s if memory serves.
