All my life i thought these were pretty common. Now im finding basically nothing in my online searches for them. I am pretty sure they were sold by a traveling salesman to my parents.

Never heard of them. Is this a generic beige box PC-compatible desktop? There were thousands of those brands in the 1990s, just small shops building PCs from standard parts and sticking their badge on the box.

It certainly doesn't help that they shared a name with the Amiga digital camera/scanner perhipheral. I found a listing in the July 2000 issue of Computer Shopper where "Bay Micro Computers" out of Torrance California was selling the aforementioned "beige box" AMD PCs with Digiview keyboards. One of the keyboards was on eBay, and it seems like a bog standard rebadged OEM membrane keyboard of the era.
