Viscorp were introduced to the Amiga market in 1995 as a licencee of Amiga technology. They developed a low-cost Internet set-top box and announced plans to market their product to a public who did not require an expensive computer, but wanted to take advantage of Internet services. When Escom announced their liquidation in 1996, the company announced their intent to purchase the Amiga subsiduary. However, they were unsuccesful and Amiga Technologies was purchased by Gateway 2000.

Viscorp removed their Chief Executive Officer (CEO) after several boardroom shenanigans and changed the company name to U.S. Digital Communications, Inc. The 'new' company became a provider of satellite telephony and other embedded technologies. The company announced its closure in June 2000 - a victim of the failing dotcom market.
