Hector

292 bytes added, 16 May
In 1983, the Victor is renamed Hector, to avoid confusion with the machines from the Californian company Victor Technologies (formerly Sirius Systems Technology). To add to the confusion, JVC (Japan Victor Company) also had a brand of Victor [[MSX]] computers.
The last model introduced was the Hector HR.MX, with production of the series ending in 1985. The series was not successful, due to the focus on the French market, a weak software lineup, intense competition from Amstrad machines and high prices. The Hector range has never found its audience, as the French market was dominated by [[Thomson]] and [[Oric-1/Atmos|Oric]], and then by the newcomer, [[CPC|Amstrad]], which will take over everything.
