Irwin Magnetic Systems, Inc., also known as Irwin Magnetics, was a computer storage manufacturer founded in 1979 and based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. At its height, the company employed 600 people in Ann Arbor.[1] The company's primary product lines were magnetic tape data storage systems, most popularly the proprietary AccuTrak format. This format was widely adopted by Compaq, Hewlett-Packard and other OEM manufacturers;[2] it was also incorporated into IBM Personal System/2 (PS/2) personal computers as an option.[3] In 1989, the company was acquired by Cipher Data Products for US$77 million.[4][5] Cipher was in turn acquired by Archive Corporation a year later.[6] Archive maintained Irwin as an independent brand for a while after the acquisition.[7]
