• Jan 1, 1989     fishcamp engineering founded as partnership between Ralph Schmehl and Bob Piatek.

• 1989 - 1994     Initial business plan defines a product roadmap targetting the data acquisition
                  marketplace.  Several NuBus based PC add-in cards developed.  Companion data
                  acquisition software (NBS-Link) introduced to support the NBS series of cards. 

• 1994 - 1999     Development begins on first PCI bus based cards.  Several custom versions
                  addressing the needs of OEMs released.

•        1998     Comapny offices moved from Bob's garage to 124 W. Clark Ave, Orcutt CA.

• 1998 - 2000     Engineering Design Services takes precedence over in-house funded standard
                  product design as opportunity presented by super-heated high tech industry
                  materialises.

• 1998 - 1999     Contract signed with an infrared imaging company to provide signal processing 
                  system for a newly developed image sensor.

•        1999     Developed data acquisition sub-system for Very Large Array radio telescope
                  project.

• 1999 - 2000     Contract with a DSP software company signed to partner on the design of a
                  hardware reference platform for a new wireless chipset being introduced 
                  by a major semiconductor company.  The design centered around the hardware
                  necessary to support the speech and signal processing DSP algorithms provided 
                  by our partner company.

• 2000 - 2001     PWB design services provided to leading inter-networking company in Silicon
                  Valley.

• 2000 - 2001     Contract with a wireless communications startup was signed to provide the 
                  design of the embeddded processor and digital baseband logic for an LMDS 
                  terminal.  Larry McCrigler joins team to work on this project.

•        2001     Company offices moved to larger facility at 105 W. Clark Ave, Orcutt CA. 

• 2001 - 2002     PWB design services provided to optical communications startup.

• 2001 - 2002     Engineering design services provided to state transportation department
                  for 'Smart Bus Sign' project.

• 2001 - 2002     Contract signed with a company that is a leader in the infrared imaging
                  field to develop a portable system to perform gas leak detection for the 
                  petro-chemical industry.  All of the hardware design and a significant portion
                  of the software content of the camera were our responsibility.  The project
                  utilizes multi-million gate FPGA's to support the real-time image processing 
                  algorithms required.
