Anyone know the website of the maker of MOUNTAIN SWITCHES as supplied by digikey, mouser etc? I did a google search and did not come up with anything. Need to check the specs of a few of their switches. Thanks Marius
Try "Japanese." At least, that is what I see at that site, but when I click on the text in the middle of the screen, I get taken to the ISP's Web site (Netgroove). I think that the text on which I clicked might be saying that the site is undergoing maintenance -- if I am interpreting correctly the Kanji on the second line (I've studied Chinese, not Japanese).
BTW, "yama" is Japanese for "mountain"; I don't know about the "mi" bit.

Sorry, I didn't investigate whether or not the referring website that I found had it right...it claimed they were Taiwanese. I didn't give it a second thought.
Just to complete the above sample from my mine of useless trivia, I have now learned that the "mi" part means "three." So the name "Miyama" means "Three Mountains," which happens to be the name of a place in Japan, perhaps the home town of the Miyama company.
Similarly (and I know that you were all dying to know this) the name "Mitsubishi" means "Three Diamonds," as in the company's familiar logo.
I'll shut up now.

So, they misnamed themselves? Any company with a 500 year business plan should have used the Japanese word for "insanity"...any help on what that might be?
George (wondering how they planned to be in automotive and semi-conductors back in the Middle Ages)
