Blooming America

Chapter 104: Inspection company

The Z80 was originally a product of the 1970s, and the worse 6502 CPU was only selected by Nintendo in the 1980s. As far as FC is concerned, it was able to appear in the 1970s, but there was no video game industry at all.

   Weight is not a problem. After all, she thinks that the game console can be placed there. The so-called weight is a problem to be considered in the future. Seizing the market is now king. It's a big deal. After the Z80 is successfully developed, we will make a streamlined version.

   The operations and levels of "Super Mario" can be said to be a textbook for 2D games, and it is definitely a classic among the classics.

   In order to reduce the difficulty of getting started when the novice is just playing the game, Catherine's data in the game is still different from the original. For example, in the game "Mario" often slipped, but in the subsequent "New Super Mario Bros.", the hand feel has been extraordinary improvement, Catherine came according to this standard.

   Of course, Catherine has already handed over a game framework to Blizzard. Whether this game can be "powerful" is up to them.

   As for Catherine herself... She just has to be responsible for playing.

   "We can now promote XBOX, production is not a problem, just let Blizzard do a few more games."

   There are many classic games on FC.

   "Contra", "Digging Gold", "Popeye", "Little Bee", etc., these games can be said to be a creation of the game industry.

   Of course, the biggest problem now is not the game, nor the CPU, but the storage system.

   The current storage capacity is extremely high.

   Even if Catherine reduces the cost of the game console to less than 1,000 US dollars, I am afraid that the storage cost of each game will be as high as 2,000 to 5,000 US dollars. Catherine cannot afford this cost.

   Xiaobawang’s game cassette has a maximum capacity of 4-16KB, and if it is currently on sale in XBOX, the maximum capacity can be up to 2MB.

   In that case, the cost will increase by tens or even hundreds of times. How can ordinary people afford it?

   Catherine has a headache.

   "Storage capacity is the big issue."

   Sanders nodded in agreement.

   "Maybe there is a better way?" Catherine frowned.

   CD?

   Yes, one of the most popular storage devices since the 1980s.

   But it is a pity that the CD has not yet appeared, and Catherine does not know who created the CD.

   What's more, the bit error rate of the disc at the beginning was too high, and it was fine as a video device, but if it became a storage medium... the problem would be big.

   Therefore, cassette storage is still the current mainstream, and the only way now is for Sanders and the others to mobilize and work hard. Even if you dig a wall from the big elephant at IBM.

   What's more, Intel has almost become synonymous with high technology. Many technicians are looking at this side. As long as Intel beckons, it is not impossible for them to come over.

   And Sanders is working hard to win over from Fairchild. The contradictions within Fairchild gradually increase. At that time, the "Eight Rebellions" that led Fairchild to glory also began to contradict Fairchild.

   In 1955, William Shockley, the "father of transistors", left Bell Labs to create Shockley Semiconductor Labs. He attracted many talented young scientists to join. But soon, Shockley's management methods and bizarre behavior caused dissatisfaction among employees. Eight of them decided to resign together, so Xiao Keli angrily called them the "eight rebellious".

   The general manager of the parent company continues to transfer profits to the East Coast to support the profitability of Fairchild Photographic Equipment. Now it has caused dissatisfaction among many people in Fairchild.

   In fact, some people have been in contact with Intel. Kim Helney, Sheldon Roberts and Eugene Claire were the first to contact them, and they showed a very strong interest in Intel.

   In history, the eight rebellions were also the first three of them to leave Fairchild.

   As long as one of the eight rebels leaves the company first, their company will start an avalanche. Historically, a large number of outstanding technicians have also been lost.

  As long as they join in... at least the problems of my company can be solved greatly.

   After leaving Intel, Catherine came to Apple non-stop.

   Apple is currently in charge of Sanders, and for convenience, Apple is right next to Intel.

   So it’s very convenient.

   "Saunders, is this the appearance of a Microsoft Type II computer?"

   As soon as Catherine came in, she saw a shell labeled "Microsoft II".

   There are many more besides, but each is different, but obviously, the appearance of the Microsoft II type computer obviously continues the appearance of the Microsoft computer.

   In this regard, Catherine just issued a letter of intent to Sanders, and she has not read the specific things.

   "It hasn't been finalized yet. We are deciding to choose a device and show it to you." Sanders said.

   Although Sanders is the president, Catherine is the boss.

   "Split."

   Catherine said a word.

"what?"

   "I said, split. Separate the main unit and the monitor, disassemble, disassemble the keyboard, and make all of them into separate parts." Catherine said.

   Catherine thought for a while, and asked for a piece of paper~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She drew a schematic diagram of a computer on the paper, and then drew a schematic diagram of the main box.

   "We turn the keyboard and mouse into peripherals. We can also add speakers to the system. The separation of the host and the display allows us to replace the equipment more easily. CPU, graphics card and memory."

   Catherine talked so eloquently.

   She looks at the current equipment from the eyes of the 21st century.

   Although there is only one appearance, Catherine is quite satisfied with the appearance of this computer at the end of the 20th century.

   It’s just a pity that there is no LCD screen, but a CRT monitor similar to a TV.

   Catherine actually prefers such a monitor, because CRT can display infinite colors and can also restore the true color of objects. The liquid crystal display can only be said to be a half-color, with a maximum of 16 million colors, and the degree of reproduction is not true for CRT.

   But LCD is the future trend after all.

   Catherine shook her head secretly.

   If this monitor is a liquid crystal display, this computer will probably look even more popular, right?

   It's a pity that it will be at least 20 years later.

   "Okay, next, let's go to Blizzard and have a look!"

   After seeing Intel and Apple, Catherine immediately became interested, and she decided to continue to see her company.

  Sometimes, it is also a very pleasant thing to inspect one's wealth. It's no wonder that there will be "mistakers" in this world. Of course, Catherine is not a miser. Wealth, only when we spend it, can we bring more wealth to ourselves.
