A Swedish company, Hugin Sweda was a TIMEX Portugal client, and produced POS (Point of Sale).

This was a project that got a lot of attention and visibility, as has been stated by Professor Álvaro Oliveira during an interview with Universidade do Minho. During that interview he mentioned that TIMEX innovated and massively simplified the equipment’s hardware through the use of Gate Arrays (that had been developed in partnership with INESC).

It became an iconic project in the computation business, so we have a little note showcased here. The note appears to show a PCB of one of those devices. On the meanwhile, we have been promised full access to a full piece of equipment to showcase in this exhibition.
