- Computer stores around here are saturated with components packaged under the
- "Reveal" brand name. The package design suggests that a corner of the label
- is being pulled back, and printed in the corner (as if it were being
- revealed, get it?) one sees notations such as "From the Colorado Mountain
- family of tape drives" or "From the Conner family of disk drives."
- Everything from tape to modems is represented.
-
- What's the connection between Reveal and the original brands? Are they
- simply OEM'ing the genuine stuff? Cloning it?
