No, it was originally made by Paul Ward and his company under the name of 
Multi-Media Enterprises or something close to that (I know that's wrong, but 
close).  Interactive Media Systems?  Something like that.

After Paul bellied up and got out of Dodge, David Graham took it over, and 
maybe didn't supply any more MM/1 kits, but he did supply peripherals and cables 
and the like.  Just remembered, Graham's DBA was "Blackhawk Enterprises."  So 
maybe you are correct, he may have made some MM/1 kits.  

The MM/1 was always supplied as a kit (not much assembly required), to get 
around the FCC RFI limits.  I can assure you that an MM/1 obliterates all hope 
of FM or TV reception in the same house!

Chris Hawkes (Hawk-Soft) has sold a lot of software and gadgets for the MM/1.

There were three other 68K-based boxes introduced tot he Coco world.  Frank 
Hogg's TC-70 was essentially an MM/1 in a beefier mechanical form.  There was 
the Del-Mar box, which used PC cards, and another one I forget.  And a fourth, 
the PT-68K, which I think was a CPU upgrade for the MM/1, or close to it.

Man, I used to know this stuff cold.  Now I'm doing well to remember how to 
operate my MM/1 (it's still ticking).  --Mike K.
