================
LMI went bankrupt, was bought and resurrected for about a year as
GigaMos systems and was finally placed into receivership because
of a disagreement between the founder, Mr Gut Montpetit, and the
funder Mr. Takayuki Tsuru.

I believe that a service organization, Regis Service Co., may still
service the machines. They are located in Lowell, MA.

The assets of LMI/GigaMos are being held by Coopers&Lybrand in Boston, MA.

Included in the assets are the complete rights to LMI's enhancements
to the MIT Lisp machine system, a patent on a networking scheme due
to Richard Greenblatt (Moby Adressing) and rights to a RISC, tagged
architecture machine that was under development.
