First Class Peripherals, Inc., was an American computer hardware manufacturer active from 1984 to 1990. First Class was initially a mail-order subsidiary of Xebec Corporation that produced HDD subsystems for the Apple II, the Macintosh, and the IBM PC and compatibles. After Xebec dissolved in 1989, First Class was spun off and relocated to Santa Clara, California, where it briefly existed as a manufacturer of clones of IBM's PS/2 under the trade name First Class Systems. It went defunct in November 1990.
