McT
From Game Developer Research Institute
Loudware, Inc., dba McT [1] (Microcomputer Technologies; aka McToy), was incorporated on September 22, 1982. The Santa Monica, California-based company was founded by inventor Bob McCaslin with an investor named J.P. Heyes and designed and developed electronic toys and games. It also produced 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 made Apple II accelerators.
