<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Quantum Computing was a software and hardware firm run by [[The Lawnmower Man]] (Danny Heatley), [[Akira]] (Matt Gullam) and [[Executioner]] (Richard Wilson). Based in Pontardawe, South Wales, it was a splinter company from [[STS]] Software.<br /> <br /> Quantum had some innovative products, principally the [[ParaDOS]] disc operating system. However, it acquired a very poor reputation for customer service and fulfilling orders. According to the Executioner, on [[comp.sys.amstrad.8bit]]:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Quantum consisted of Danny Heatley (doing the marketing etc) and myself (doing the development). Unfortunately Danny just happened to be one of the biggest con men I&#039;ve ever dealt with, and would take orders, spend the money and not forward the product on to the customer. &#039;&#039;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> It seems likely that Quantum&#039;s bad reputation was exaggerated by [[Amstrad Action]], which had for many years taken advertising from [[Microstyle]] - which was at least as bad as fulfilling orders - without printing any adverse comments. Nonetheless, some customers were certainly left without goods they had paid for. ParaDOS was eventually sold by [[ComSoft]].<br /> <br /> Quantum was informally known as &#039;Quantum Copmuting&#039;, and Danny as &#039;Daniel Heapley&#039;, after AA misspellings.<br /> <br /> == Products ==<br /> <br /> * [[ParaDOS]]<br /> * 3.5in disc drives<br /> * Abracadabra disc drive switch</div>
