MOS Technology and MOSTEK are not, and never have been the same.  MOS
Technology was owned by Commodore, and was based in New England somewhere,
I believe.  MOSTEK was a different semiconductor manufacturer based in Texas.
One of MOSTEK's notable contributions was their early second sourcing of
Zilog devices.
