Mike Davenport, President of Nascom, has over twenty years of experience in the security industry and is widely recognized as one of the most knowledgeable innovators of security switch technology.
Prior to founding Nascom, Inc. in 1986 he was with Sentrol Inc. and George Risk Industries.
Nascom has been on the cutting edge of switch technology, being the first to introduce flat reed technology and rare earth magnets to the industry.
Nascom Inc, a maker of security switches with operations in Vancouver and Newberg, Ore., is consolidating its business in new quarters at the Port of Kalama.
Nascom will be bringing 30 new jobs to the area, said company founder Mike Davenport.
Nascom has been in business 19 years, Davenport said, after he began assembling his first order of security switches in his basement in Dundee, Ore. He later moved into a commercial building in nearby Newberg and a few years ago, expanded into Vancouver.

The Nascom Home Page(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Nascom (1 and 2) were computer kits from the UK based around the Z80 processor, sold in the early 1980s.
The hardware in these is identical to Nascom 1, and it arrears that somewhere in the business/design setup that Mr Shelton had an arrangement to publish the Nascom 1 design.
Nascom Nostalgia by Jesper Hansen is another page with some programs and yet another Nascom emulator.
That was not actually very much more advanced than the Nascom 2, except that it had a diskette drive on it.
It was more cost-effective to buy this than upgrade the Nascom to have disks and CP/M. I have recently powered it up for the first time in around 15 years to see if still works and if I can recover any of my software off tape.
The PC to the left is what I am using to connect to the Nascom so that I can retrieve and store programs from it.
The Nascom 1 is a single board Z80 based microcomputer from the earliest days of computing history.
The emulator supports all the hardware of the standard Nascom 1 I know about - the keyboard and display, the cassette port and the hardware single stepping code.
The emulator is started by typing 'NASCOM' which boots the machine into the monitor selected in the configuration file NASCOM.CFG.
Sadly from what information I obtained at the time, the Nascom II was meant to include 8KB of static memory which was either too expensive or not available in sufficient quantities.
The result was that Nascom had to give away their 32KB Daughterboard at great cost to themselves and Nascom's eventually going under.
On the other hand Nascom I owners left this part on effectively converting a Nascom I to a Nascom II A further upgrade I carried out was based on a modification in a magazine.
NASCOM-IP PTP Release / Archived Press Releases / News & Press / About Avtec / Avtec.com - the Web site of Avtec ...(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
NASCOM is replacing and updating equipment to implement an IP network, and is using Avtec's PTPs to provide the bridge between the 4800 bit-block protocol and the IP network.
"In addition, IP's data-driven, industry-standard network will replace NASCOM's extensive scheduling infrastructure." Avtec's PTPs were selected for their low cost per channel and aggregate data rates in excess of 10 Mbps.
The PTP is a PC-based, multi-channel telemetry acquisition and processing system used extensively by NASA and the aerospace community to interface with the NASCOM network.
After some delay, the original Nascom operation was taken over by a division of Lucas Industries in 1981 (renamed Lucas Nascom), who developed the system and produced new boards and software.
The Nascom 3 was basically a cased version of the original Nascom 2, using the original Nascom 2 mother board, with space for fitting various expansion cards (disc drive interface, Advanced Video Controller, memory, etc).
Since the bus of both the Nascom and Gemini systems was the same, it was not unusual for users to create hybrid systems - adding, for example, Gemini boards to their Nascom 3 or 2, or of course fitting Nascom boards into Gemini systems.

The Nascom was a British made, single board, Z80 based computer that hobbyists could afford, but it could be extended into a system that was powerful, for its time.
I bought a Nascom 1 in 1978, and a Nascom 2 some time later.
The new site will be an excellent resource for the Nascom fans of the world, who may not be numerous, but can be very enthusiastic indeed.
In this case it's an excellent bloke called Chris Matthews who's donated this never completed machine, and has built an enclosure round it to support the buffer board and the extra memory board, which also looks unfinished.
Apparently there was a problem with memory timing, so Nascom came out with the Nascom 2 to address this problem.
There's also the complete documentation set from 1979 and an issue of Computing Today which features the Nascom as well as several other kit-based machines I'm now going to have to get my paws on :o)
