Cambridge Systems Technology

Cambridge Systems Technology (CST) was a company formed in the early 1980s by ex-Torch Computers engineers David Oliver and Martin Baines, to produce peripherals for the BBC Micro, and later, with Graham Priestley, Sinclair QL microcomputers.[1][2] Products included IEEE 488, floppy disk and SCSI interfaces.[2][3]
