Yes. I recently saw some systems in a phone company that bore the
ALTOS/Acer trade mark. I was surprised that Acer chose to continue
using the ALTOS name for some systems.

In 1986 or '87, the accounting system for the university where I was
studying ran on an Altos under Xenix, if my memory serves me right.

A friend and I managed to install a second hard drive in it for
less than 1/3 of what the company doing the support wanted.
