Hitachi Ltd has signed an OEM agreement for the guts of an X-terminal from Network Computing Devices Inc. The contract, valued at around $4m over the next year, will have the Mountain View company supplying Hitachi with the base electronics used in its NCD19c colour terminal starting early in 1992. Hitachi will package the boards in its own 19 colour monitor – the same monitor Network Computing uses. Hitachi will sell the line worldwide with its systems. Network Computing executive vice-president Judy Estrin said the deal will open the way to future joint development efforts on new products in the high-end colour X-terminal arena.
