Talk:INMOS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This needs investigating... INMOS was definitely owned by Thorn-EMI in the mid 80s (it was part of Thorn-EMI from 85 to 87 when I worked for another part of Thorn-EMI, certainly).

Indeed, see:

Then Thorn EMI, in 1984, made an offer that not only solved the Government’s problem of what to do with Inmos, but gave them a £30 million profit on their £65 million investment and took £35 million of loan guarantees (secured on highly in-demand chip-making equipment) from the public books. http://www.cieonline.co.uk/cie2/articlen.asp?pid=1674&id=17748 81.86.144.210 10:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the article mentions this (albeit under "Products"). Letdorf 16:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC).

Also--I picked a girl up from INMOS, "Officer and Gentleman" style, on her last day of work, before I married her. INMOS was nowhere close to Cheyanne Mountain, unless you think "close" means within 15 miles. The INMOS chip foundary was out on I-25.
