pre-date all the Borlands.

John Kendall, owner of Chipco, made these during the short time he owned the Burt Co, 1988/89.
These are the only known examples of either chip and thanks went to David Sarles for providing us with these.

So, not Borland, but an important part of the story, and a style he later replicated on many orders (Quick guess 200 different and counting).
