You mean Unicomp? At that time, although they were not quite the old IBM, they were close, probably still using the original design to which they had bought rights. But 2 or 3 years after that they "jumped the shark"; new models started requiring non-uniform pressure to activate different keys, some keys requiring excessive pressure, some keys started to stick, and the final straw was when keys started to fall off after light usage. This seems to be a universal pattern in consumer capitalism: start with a great product, acquire a cult clientele, then gradually increase profits by cutting costs, while relying on the cult to keep customers coming even for the inferior product. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
