Adage, Inc., was a Boston-based electronics and computer manufacturer founded in 1957, first specializing in analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, and later in computer graphics systems. It was founded by James I. "Jim" Stockwell and two other MIT graduates in Boston in 1957, and later moved to Billerica. In 1989, Adage held merger talks with various potential partners, including Multiflow Computer and GBIC, but they were not consummated. Adage was acquired by Systems & Computer Technology Corporation for US$5 million in 1994.

Adage, Inc., was a Boston-based electronics and computer manufacturer founded in 1957, first specializing in analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, and later in computer graphics systems. It was founded by James I. "Jim" Stockwell and two other MIT graduates in Boston in 1957, and later moved to Billerica. Starting in 1967, Adage focused on computer graphics systems. Its most advanced system in 1967 was the GS/300. In 1976, it introduced the GT/2250 Vector Graphics Workstation, which was plug compatible with the IBM 2250 Graphics Display Unit; it later created the Adage 4000 and, in 1985, the Adage 6000 series workstation. In 1989, Adage held merger talks with various potential partners, including Multiflow Computer and GBIC, but they were not consummated. Adage was acquired by Systems & Computer Technology Corporation for US$5 million in 1994. (en) |
