# AERCO

AERCO made disk drive systems and other accessories for the TS 1000 and TS 2068 computers.

Jerry Chamkis, owner of AERCO, [now makes microphone pre-amps](http://www.aerco.net/index.html) and a very unique musical instrument called the [Kosmophone](http://www.kosmophone.com/).

> He studied physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, but disillusioned by the emphasis on military applications, he left and became chief engineer at a radio station in Houston, Texas. In 1975, he formed AERCO (Acme Electric Robot Company), where he initially produced peripheral devices and memory expansions for small computers and then moved on to computer-controlled hot wire cutting systems, broadcast equipment, and microphone preamplifiers. Since about 2000 he has concentrated on various art projects such as the Kosmophone.
