  • Pertec Computer Corporation (PCC), formerly Peripheral Equipment Corporation (PEC), was a computer company based in Chatsworth, California which originally designed and manufactured peripherals such as floppy drives, tape drives, instrumentation control and other hardware for computers. Pertec's most successful products were hard disk drives and tape drives, which were sold as OEM to the top computer manufacturers including IBM, Siemens and Digital Computer Corporation, DEC. Pertec manufactured multiple models of seven and nine track half-inch tape drives with densities 800CPI and 1600CPI and phase-encoding formatters which were used by a myriad of original equipment manufacturers as I/O devices for their product lines. In the 1970s, Pertec entered the computer industry through several acquisitions of computer producers and started manufacturing and marketing mostly minicomputers for data (pre)processing. This split up Pertec into two companies. Pertec Peripherals Corporation (PPC), which remained based in Chatsworth, California, and Pertec Computer Corportation (PCC), which was located at 17112 Armstrong Avenue, in Irvine, California.
  • Pertec Computer Corporation (PCC), vormals Peripheral Equipment Corporation (PEC), war ein Computerhersteller in Chatsworth (Kalifornien), USA. Pertec stellte als Zulieferer vor allem Peripheriegeräte wie Floppylaufwerke, Bandlaufwerke, Massenspeicher oder Eingabe- und Kontrollgeräte für die Computerindustrie her. Pertecs erfolgreichste Produkte waren Festplatten und Bandlaufwerke, welche als OEM-Produkte an die seinerzeit größten Computerhersteller wie IBM, Siemens und Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) verkauft wurden. Pertec stellte eine ganze Reihe verschiedener Modelle her, darunter Sieben- und Neun-Spur-Bandlaufwerke im Halbzoll-Format mit Datendichten zwischen 800 CPI und 1600 CPI sowie Phasenkodierer, welche von nahezu allen Originalausrüstern als Ein-Ausgabegeräte verwendet wurden. In den 1970er Jahren stieg Pertec durch den Erwerb mehrerer kleinerer Computerhersteller vollends in die Computerindustrie ein und begann selber mit der Herstellung und dem Vertrieb von Kleincomputern zur Datenverarbeitung. 1976 erwarb Pertec für 6,5 Mio. US-Dollar die Firma MITS, den Hersteller des Altair Computers. Der Hauptgrund für den Kauf von MITS war die Annahme so auch in den Besitz des Quellcodes und aller Rechte an Microsoft BASIC zu kommen, welches Microsoft für MITS entwickelt hatte. Später sollte sich dies jedoch als fataler Irrtum erweisen . Pertec hatte durch den Zukauf von MITS nun die Möglichkeit, Computersysteme mit Mikroprozessor selber zu entwickeln. Die ersten Modelle waren erweiterte Versionen des Altair, typischerweise ergänzt mit Laufwerken aus der eigenen Produktpalette. Der Verkauf lief zunächst gut, doch schon bald war die Zeit für den Altair vorbei.
