My colleague Jack Rubin gave me the following information in May and June of 2007. He plans to complete a WMC system, and a history of the two companies, very soon. - Herb JOhnson
"WAMECO only sold bare boards, though others (mostly MIKOS) supplied them in kitted form. [I chose to study WAMECO because] it's a archetypical S100 company - 3 guys working for a defense contractor got together over the Intel databook and said, 'We can do that' and they did. They were all Homebrew Computer Club members and truly felt they were giving something back to the hobby. Plus the boards were pretty cool in "passionate pink" (their words)!"
"I've interviewed Norm WAlters, Dean MEyer and Grant COnnell about the company they formed in 1977. A (surplus) dealer named Chuck Naegeli bought them out after a couple of years. Chuck ran MIKOS and provided parts kits with the boards (he did the same thing with SSM). You'll find his signature on the instruction sheets for several of the later boards. The last memory product was the MEM4, a 64K board that Grant (?) did for Chuck. I've been calling Naegeli's up and down the west coast but haven't found anyone who knows/knew Chuck yet. He used to work for Cisco and lived in Montara, CA but that's all I know." - end quote from Jack Rubin
