Logical Machine Corporation

[3][4] Following a delay, caused in part by concerned residents,[4][5] a 30,000-square-foot plant was raised in Burke Hill, three miles south of Ukiah.

[6][8] Twenty units of the ADAM were installed between April 1975 and February 1976,[8] out of a backlog of orders for 3,500 from 500 clients, manufactured out of the company's Burlingame headquarters.

[10] The company changed its name to Logical Machine Corporation (LOMAC) in October 1976 and moved its headquarters to a 26,000-square-foot building in Sunnyvale, California, in anticipation of a ramping up of orders for the ADAM.

[16] LOMAC suffered losses that year and appointed Jerry Brandt to the board of directions, naming him chief operating officer, in August 1978.

[16][17] Brandt had Logical absorb Mass Memory and Centigram into the parent operations, shutting down their respective plants in the process, converted 10 Byte Shops to franchises and opened 25 more franchised Byte locations, and stopped direct sales of LOMAC's business computer products.

[19] In 1983, the company announced a 16-bit clone of the IBM PC, called the Logical L-XT, which featured a 10-MB hard drive, 320-KB floppy drive and 192 KB of RAM, and a real-time clock, and came shipped with various software (including MS-DOS, a word processor, and a spreadsheet application) and an amber CRT monitor.

[20] The following year, the company introduced L-NET, a local area network system based on the L-XT that could link up to 64 computers.

As part of the terms of exiting bankruptcy, Logical stopped manufacturing hardware and strictly became a software development company and value-added reseller of computer systems.
