Tandem Computers was founded in 1974 by a group of engineers from Hewlett-Packard, led by James Treybig.
Tandem considered this to be very important to their business model, as customers invariably developed procedural solutions to downtime when the price was too high.
Tandem also provided a number of tools to easily port existing object code to the new systems, resulting in code that was some 25% slower than the original Cyclone.

Originally the tandem was composed of welding two bicycle frames together to form a two-person bicycle.
The front rider steers the bicycle and is known as the captain, pilot, or steersman; the rear rider is the stoker, navigator or rear admiral.
Tandem bicycles are often used in competitions for blind and vision-impaired cyclists, who ride as stokers with a fully-sighted pilot.
