I wonder if there are any similarities between the Cardiff Company and the fictional Cardiff Electric from Halt and Catch Fire.

That is quite blatantly a take on Tandy, a leather company getting into the co.puter business.

Why Tandy and not Compaq?

Did Compaq also start as an acquisition from a completely unrelated industry?Tandy was a leather goods company that purchased a hobby electronics chain, and started selling PC's.
