Masatoshi Shima

StefanL, 29.08.01, 09:40

Stayed up late yesterday and read lots of oral history. This is a wonderful trait of the web.

Masatoshi Shima, codesigner of Z80 and big mother Z8000

The longest piece was about Masatoshi Shima. Read his story, please.

There are very funny things about Intel in it. He and only a very few other guys could imagine and conceive of a microchip in their heads.

In terms of freeing the microchip and putting it out into the wild were 2 guys named Bill Mensch and Chuck Peddle. Designed the 6800, went to Mos Tehnologies and made the $25 microprocessor possible.

That thing, called a 6502, led to the Apple I and II, the Commodore PET, VC20 and the C64.

Frederico Faggin, Mr. Shima who left Intel and Mr. Mensch and Mr. Peddle who left Motorola are the guys who made the CPU on chip cheap and affordable which in turn created the personal computing -as in earnestly personal- industry.

ANTSCD: Brian Foote commented in my weblog, wow!

plink,  only 1 comment,    praise or blame!

Oracle is now mentioned in the English Wikipedia article on teletext and even has its own article here. Electra has one too.

Should be
pretty easy to guess from the context and image who HaFi and InTu are. Besides, thx for the hint to the open bold-tag.
