Quoted without permission from the Wednesday, Aug. 12 Business section of
the San Diego County edition of the L.A. Times (page IV-3):

San Diego Levco Corp., a closely held manufacturer of accessories for 
Apple Macintosh personal computers, has signed a definitive agreement
to be acquired by Scientific Micro Systems Inc., a publicly held computer
peripherals company based in Mountain View.

[...stuff about size of companies, and their officers ...]

San Diego Levco president Roger Phillips said his company, which he 
described as basically an engineering company, saw the acquisition
as attractive because of SMS's marketing and distributiion capabilities.

---END QUOTE---

Hmmm.  Either the Delphi posters or the Times got their stories scrambled.
I haven't seen Scientific Micro Systems in any of the Mac rags... anybody
know who these guys are?
