Carry a reminder of computing history wherever you travel with this Adage Passport Cover. The company began in Boston in 1957, founded by James I. “Jim” Stockwell and two other MIT graduates, and first specialized in converter technology. Its later move into computer graphics brought milestones such as the GS/300, GT/2250, Adage 4000, and Adage 6000. A thoughtful travel accessory for collectors and company-history readers who appreciate Adage’s journey from its Massachusetts roots to its 1994 acquisition.
Adage, Inc. was an electronics and computer manufacturer founded in Boston in 1957 by James I. “Jim” Stockwell and two other MIT graduates. The company initially specialized in analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, then later moved to Billerica. Beginning in 1967, Adage focused on computer graphics systems; its most advanced system that year was the GS/300. In 1976, it introduced the GT/2250 Vector Graphics Workstation, designed to be plug compatible with the IBM 2250 Graphics Display Unit. Adage later created the Adage 4000 and introduced the Adage 6000 series workstation in 1985. In 1989, the company held merger discussions with several potential partners, including Multiflow Computer and GBIC, but those talks did not result in a merger. Systems & Computer Technology Corporation acquired Adage for US$5 million in 1994. The company’s history traces a shift from converter technology to computer graphics workstations.
