SMS has been in the peripheral controller business for a long time.  I
recall admiring the design of their disc controller board about 1973!
As I recall, they were owned by a much larger business (Corning, Signetics,
maybe C owned S and it was :"Signetic Micro Systems" at one time ??? )
 and spun free.  Good business sense, little hype  -- even
in the wild days of the late '70s.  EXCELLENT match with a Mac drive
company, given the openness of the new systems.  Look for move into
IBM's new architectures (not just MicroChannel, but the unannounced
network-of-servers stuff).

Disclaimer:  All this is speculation and NOT endorsed by my employer,
who has other people who are paid to worry about truth.
