Videx, Inc., is a Corvallis, Oregon manufacturer of computer hardware such as access control products and data collection terminals. It was founded in 1979 by Paul Davis.[1][2]
Its initial success came with the first release of the $345 Videoterm (80 column) display card[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] in March 1980 and the $149 shift and custom keyboard mapping Enhancer II terminal card in November 1981, both for Apple II computers.[10][11][12] Later, in 1984, it released its $379[13] UltraTerm expansion card boasting high-definition 96-pixel characters and up to 128 × 32 character display.[14][15][16][17][18] These products became obsolete when Apple released the Apple IIe with most of the 80-column card hardware built-in - only a much simpler and cheaper RAM card was then required.
Videx also produced software, including Desktop Calendar (1984) for the Apple Lisa.[19][20]
In the mid-1980s, the company started divesting from personal computer products in favor of data collection products, namely barcode readers.[21]
