In 1982, Victor Lambda Diffusion, a subsidiary, distributes the Victor Lambda. The first machines built in the United States were not a success, and the following models were designed and produced in France at the headquarters of the Micronique company. The company uses the slogan: "The French Personal Computer".
In 1983, the Victor is renamed Hector, to avoid confusion with the machines from the Californian company Victor Technologies (formerly Sirius Systems Technology). To add to the confusion, JVC (Japan Victor Company) also had a brand of Victor MSX computers.
The last model introduced was the Hector MX, with production of the series ending in 1985. The series was not successful, due to the focus on the French market, intense competition from Amstrad machines and high prices.
