'''Systems Concepts''' was a company (originally located in San Francisco) which built custom hardware, initially for [[KA10]] [[PDP-10]]s. It was founded by Stewart Nelson and Mike Levitt; in 1970, Peter Samson joined them as Director of Marketing.

Among their early products were the [[Systems Concepts DK-10|DK-10]] [[asynchronous serial line]] interface, the [[Systems Concepts DC-10|DC-10]] and [[Systems Concepts SA-10|SA-10]] [[disk]] [[device controller|controller]]s, and the [[Systems Concepts DM-10|DM-10]] [[virtual memory|paging]] box for [[MIT]]'s KA10 [[Incompatible Timesharing System|ITS]] machines.

Later on, they designed the SC-40, a high-performance PDP-10 compatible machine, after [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] cancelled further PDP-10 replacements.
