IBM and family
Provided by the ASK Keyboard Dictionary
"IBM and family" is a term used to refer to keyboards (and potentially other products like PCs, printers, mice, etc.) designed, produced, and/or marketed by IBM but also ones that are derived from IBM but made or marketed by another company. The term can include companies that were a former division of IBM, acquired IBM's IP and/or tooling, licensed IBM's IP, or were an ODM/OEM that IBM used. But the keyboard itself must be IBM-branded or is based on a design IBM and its primary associates created themselves. The primary "IBM and family" is concluded to include IBM itself, Lexmark, Unicomp, Lenovo, and Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions.
