   Kensington Technology and Kingston Techn

   Ever surfing the net, my electric eye detected a "Kensington Technology   
   KTM-2000/M80" 8580 memory daughtercard. This caught my attention, you   
   would expect "Kingston Technology"   
      
   The PCBs for the KTM-1000/M80 and the KTM2000/M80 share the same PCB.   
   Dave noted the KTM-1000 only populates half of the memory ICs.   
      
   But if you look at the spacing of the model's title on each card at the   
   top of the board, you will see:   
      
   Kensington Technology KTM-2000/M80   
              ^   
      
   Kingston   Technology KTM-2000/M80   
            ^^^   
      
   The only image we have of the KTM-4000/M80 appears to be Kingston   
   Technology from the get-go.   
      
   Kingston                   <<< Big font size!   
      Technology Corporation   <<< About 1/2 size, tucked in under Kingston   
      
   Maybe... Kensington sold the KTM line to Kingston?   
   Kensington fabbed the KTM line for Kingston?   
      
   Kensington is normularily associated with Apple stuff [ADB mice...] and   
   physical security devices [locks, cables...]. Perhaps Kensington   
   divested itself from the KTM stuff to focus on Apple? I have yet to find   
   any period articles explaining the name shift...
