===IWS===
Introduced in 1980,<ref>{{cite web |title=NGEN Family Overview |url=http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/convergent/ngen/brochures/NGEN_Brochure_Oct84.pdf |page=5 |publisher=Convergent Technologies}}</ref> Convergent's first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on a 5&nbsp;MHz [[Intel 8086]] microprocessor, with optional [[Intel 8087]] math coprocessor. The WS-110 integrated the processor, memory I/O, and video display control boards along with two [[Multibus]] slots into a unique "lectern" situated next to the monitor and integrated into a common base.  The WS-120 placed these boards along with five Multibus slots in a floor-standing enclosure. Floor-standing mass storage units would also be integrated into a system. The video hardware supported "soft fonts" allowing the character set to be changed in RAM rather than a fixed character set in ROM. 

[[Burroughs Corporation|Burroughs]] sold the IWS as the [[Burroughs B20|B22]], [[NCR Voyix|NCR]] sold it as the WorkSaver 100, and [[Savin (photocopiers)|Savin]] released the Information Station 2000.<ref name="Savin">{{cite journal |last1=Beeler |first1=Jeffry |title=Savin Comes Out With Two OA Systems |journal=Computerworld |date=December 28, 1981 |page=129 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M_ACDiwEnJYC&pg=PA129}}</ref>
