Wasn't this a gaming company? Or had a game box like Atari? Coleco Vision??
As well as a PC, the Coleco Adam.
Was actually a pretty decent machine for the time except for one major faux pas on their design part. It had the power supply in the printer,
so if your printer went down then your whole system was down until you could get your printer either repaired or replaced.

You also had to remember not to leave any datapacks in or too close to
the machine because it had a habit of scrambling tapes as it's switched on.
hmm, don't remember it having that problem. Wonder if that was maybe
just an issue with a certain production run. They may have gotten a bad batch of tape drives.

Yeah. I had a hand-held trivia-type game device from them. I probably still have it somewhere. IIRC, when you bought a new trivia game, it
came in a box that, when you opened it, had what looked like a small binder in it. Inside the binder was a booklet and a small "box" with a port. You plugged the device into the port and used the booklet to
choose and answer the trivia questions. The device, based on the data contained in the "box", would tell you if you were right or not.
