Documation

Documation was an American Stock Exchange-listed computer hardware manufacturer[1] founded in 1969[2] in Melbourne, Florida that went public in 1976.

[5] In late 1980,[6] Storage Technology Corporation (STC) acquired Documation, which was subsequently spun off, and those companies which subdivided from it, most of which use Documation-like names, no longer manufacture computer peripherals.

At the time of the Series 5000's introduction, the company said that "impact printers dominate 85 percent of the market."

They initially focused on selling card readers to end-users; their model 6501 is IBM-compatible.

By 1992, the name Documation was no longer affiliated with Storage Technology Corporation in the US, but the latter still owned two Documation-named subsidiaries, one in France and the other in UK.
