USA | Founded 1982 | Discontinued 1985
COMX was a short-lived but notable American company that specialized in high-end microcomputers and peripherals during the early 1980s. They are best remembered for the COMX 80, a sophisticated 8-bit computer designed to compete in the burgeoning home computing market. The system was praised for its advanced architecture and high-quality build, often targeting more serious hobbyists and professionals rather than just casual gamers. Despite its technical prowess, the company struggled with the intense market volatility and the rapid evolution of hardware-driven competition. COMX eventually ceased operations in the mid-1980s, leaving behind a small but dedicated following among retro computing enthusiasts who value its unique design and the high-performance capabilities it offered during the early home computer era.
