Microsystems International Limited

Based in Kanata, Ontario (suburb of Ottawa) MIL had purchased intel's process and contained the mask set for a number of their production parts. I know they had the 1103 and the masks for intel's 64 bit static RAM. I can not remember if MIL had the rights to produce the 4004 but I suspect they did and therefore should also be listed as selling it.

I do know they built an enhanced 4004 called the MF7112. Waiting on the shelves for a working version of their 4 bit processor was an emulator, text editor, and assembler for that machine, (and I think a mini-BIOS/OS) all written in Fortran by Larry Schweizer and his team of programmers, including John Heckman. I was there in Fall '72 and Spring '73 while they were working on the MF7112.

Sorry, I can not definitively say if MIL produced the 4004 but IMHO, the odds that it did not are low.
