Its initial success came with the first release of the $345 Videoterm (80 column) display card[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] in March 1980 and the $149 shift and custom keyboard mapping Enhancer II terminal card in November 1981, both for Apple II computers.[9][10][11] Later, in 1984, it released its $379[12] UltraTerm expansion card boasting high-definition 96-pixel characters and up to 128 × 32 character display.[13][14][15][16][17] These products became obsolete when Apple released the Apple IIe with most of the 80-column card hardware built-in - only a much simpler and cheaper RAM card was then required.
Videx also produced software, including Desktop Calendar (1984) for the Apple Lisa.[18][19]
