McT (Microcomputer Technologies; aka "McToy") was founded by inventor Bob McCaslin with an investor named J.P. Heyes and is perhaps best known for producing the SpeeDemon accelerator for the Apple II. The company split up at some point, with some former employees starting Zip Technology and others starting Bits & Pieces (Bits & Pieces Technology, Inc.), both of which also produced Apple II accelerators.
