UMAX Data Systems, Inc.
 PROFILE
Between its race to take the top spot in the scanner market and its trials as a former Mac clone maker, UMAX Data Systems has probably worked up a good sweat. UMAX is best known for its scanners (it also sells digital cameras), which it designs for home, business, and professional graphics applications. The UMAX Astra 3400 made a name in the low-end scanner market for its speed and price. UMAX has experienced ups and downs -- it ate into Hewlett-Packard's share of the scanner market but was caught in the fallout of Apple's decision to pull clone licensing agreements. The company has stopped selling PC workstations, notebook computers, and networking equipment.
