Summary: Genie computers, Madras

My friend Ananth(Ananth_Annapragada%UB-MTS%UMich-MTS.Mailnet@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA)
wanted to add this to the list of computer companies in India:

    
-------------------------------------

In response to the list of Computer firms in India, you might want to add this
one to the list:  Genie computers, a Madras based unit, a subunit of ELCOT, the
electronic corporation of Tamil Nadu. They manufacture a range of IBM-PC/XT
clones, as well as a set of z80 based kids systems similar to the Commodore
vic-20 in appearance.  Their main drawback today is the inavailability of a
good printer, their being forced to market an Olivetti electric as the standard
hardcopy device. Their 256K xt clone sells for around Rs.70,000.00 including a
whole range of business software. (Around 8,000 - 10,000 less without.) This
was when I left India in January. I dont think it has changed much since.
                                 Seeya later
                                       -Ananth
