Integral Data Systems IDS, the printer maker

With a little effort and Google, I came up with the following:

The History of Integral Data Systems, Inc. (IDS) ================================================

19?? - 198?: Integral Data Systems, Inc. (IDS) ---------------------------------------------- Integral Data Systems, Inc. (IDS) of motherord, New Hampshire was bought out by Dataproducts Corporation in the mid 80s (click on "IDS Microprism-480-Paper Tigers")

198? - 1999: Dataproducts Corporation ------------------------------------- Dataproducts Corporation

Dataproducts Becomes Hitachi Koki Imaging Solutions:

Dataproducts Becomes Hitachi Koki Imaging Solutions (see page 3)

1999 - 2002: Hitachi Koki Imaging Solutions, Inc. ------------------------------------------------- Hitachi Koki Imaging Solutions, Inc.

Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd. and Hitachi, Ltd. merged related printing businesses to form Hitachi Printing Solutions America, Inc. (see page 6)

2002 - 2004: Hitachi Printing Solutions America, Inc. (HPRSA) ------------------------------------------------------------- Hitachi Printing Solutions America, Inc.

Hitachi Printing Solutions Acquisition New Company Launched as Ricoh Printing Systems America, Inc.

2004 - Now : Ricoh Printing Systems America, Inc. ------------------------------------------------- Ricoh Printing Systems America, Inc. (RPSA), formerly Hitachi Printing Solutions America, Inc.,

So, there you have it! IDS is now a faint memory in RPSA's past.

Also, here are some semi-related links that I found while searching.
