	NekoTech is a part of Inventory Conversion, Inc., in New Hampshire at the number given. The CEO is Donald Francoeur. NekoTech itself used to be in Irvine, Calif., headed by Alpha entrepreneur Bruce Faust. Faust left NekoTech following management differences with the parent company and now consults for various Alpha system vendors. I don't know if there is still a NekoTech presence in Irvine. Mac

	The boards (modules) were built and tested by Digital Contract Manufacturing in Augusta and I believe are still being built by the same people, different company, SCI Augusta.

	I talk to Nekotech folks every day. These days they buy the 21064 -275MHz boards from E&RT group. These boards are designed by Digital Semiconductor and sold by OEM technology group. I don't believe Nekotech designs their own board any more. Also another division of their company is called INCO ( inventory Conversion Inc ). This side of the business is nothing but High Tech scarp junk yard. They buy the excess inventory of various computer vendors at auction etc and salvage the parts. From what I have seen he is in a good business, considering the fact some of our executives were over optimistic and bulit millions of $$$$ worth of excess inventory of several products such as Full motion video, 21066-166MHZ Multia, Noname boards, Note books PCs etc etc. He buys from all computer vendors and from what I have learned, every company dumps their excess inventory through companies like this.
