Symbios Logic
Designed to convey the idea of partnerships, Master-McNeil developed the name Symbios Logic for the AT&T Global Information Solutions spin-off of its NCR Microelectronic Products business unit to Hyundai Electronics America. At acquisition, Hyundai's purchase price of over $300 million represented the largest direct investment by a Korean company in the United States.
Although Symbios is a coined word created for this company, it is closely related to the Greek word for companionship, symbiosis, which is also familiar as a biological term, meaning a close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms. Symbios Logic was acquired by LSI Logic.
