Network Computing Devices Inc’s UK operation in Maidenhead, Berkshire, has launched the Mountain View, California company’s latest X-terminal which uses MIPS Technologies Inc’s 33MHz R3000 RISC. The 15 monochrome NCD15r has a resolution of 1,024 by 800, comes with from 4Mb to 20Mb RAM, Network Computing’s X11 server software and costs UKP1,470. European sales accounted for 25% of Network Computing’s revenues last year – the company expects that figure to rise to 40% this year as Europe begins to catch up with the US in its adoption of X Window technologies. Network Computing claims to have shipped 25.9% of the 96,610 X-terminals thought to have been sold worldwide during the first six months of this year. With offices in London serving central Europe, Paris serving the south, Network Computing is getting up a German office in Munich to serve the north, to be headed by former Wyse Technology staffer Achim Herber.
