Chapter 104 Inspecting the company

The z80 was originally a product of the 1970s, and the 6502 CPU, which was worse than it, was just selected by Nintendo in the 1980s. In terms of technology, FC would have appeared in the 1970s, but there was no video game industry at that time.

Weight is not a problem. After all, she thinks that the game console can be placed there. The so-called weight is a matter to be considered later. The key is to seize the market now. At worst, when the z80 is successfully developed, they 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 classics.

In order to reduce the difficulty for novices to get started when they first play the game, Catherine has changed some of the data in the game from the original. For example, "Mario" in the game often slides, and in the subsequent "New Super Mario"

In "Brothers", the feel has been greatly improved, and Catherine came according to this standard.

Of course, Catherine has handed over a game framework to Blizzard. Whether this game is "powerful" or not depends on them.

As for Catherine herself...she just needs to be responsible and play.

"We can promote Xbox now. Production is not a problem. We just need to ask Blizzard to make a few more games."

There are many classic games on FC.

"Contra", "Gold Digger", "Popeye", "Little Bee", etc. These games can all be said to be creations in the gaming industry.

Of course, the biggest problem now is not with the game or the CPU, but with the storage system.

Today's 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. This cost is beyond the reach of Catherine.

The game cartridge of Little Overlord has a maximum capacity of 4~B, and if it is sold on Xbox now, the maximum capacity can be 2MB.

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

Catherine had a headache.

"Storage capacity is the big issue."

Sanders nodded with deep understanding.

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

CD?

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

But unfortunately, the compact disc has not yet appeared, and Catherine does not know who created the compact disc.

What's more, the initial bit error rate of the optical disc was too high. It was fine as a video device, but if it was turned into a storage medium... then the problem would be huge.

Therefore, cassette storage is still the mainstream. The only way now is to mobilize Sanders and others to work hard to solve the problem. Even poaching from IBM's big elephant will do.

What's more, Intel has now become almost synonymous with high technology. Many technicians are looking here. It is not impossible to ask them to come over as long as Intel waves.

Moreover, Sanders was working hard to win over Fairchild, and conflicts within Fairchild were gradually increasing. The "Eight Rebellions" who led Fairchild to glory at that time also began to have many conflicts with Fairchild.

In 1955, William Shockley, the "father of the transistor," left Bell Labs to found Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. He attracted many talented young scientists to join him. But soon, Shockley's management methods and weird behavior caused dissatisfaction among employees.

They were dissatisfied. Eight of them decided to resign together, so Xiao Keli angrily called them the "eight rebels."

The general manager of the parent company continues to transfer profits to the East Coast to support the profitability of Fairchild Photographic Equipment Company. This has now caused dissatisfaction among many people within Fairchild.

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

Historically, the Eight Rebels were the first three of them to leave Fairchild.

As long as someone among the Eight Rebellions leaves the company first, their company will begin to collapse. Historically, they have also lost a large number of outstanding technicians.

As long as they join us...at least our company's problems can be greatly solved.

After leaving Intel, Catherine came to Apple without stopping.

Sanders is currently in charge of Apple, and for convenience, Apple is located close to Intel.

So it's very convenient.

"Sanders, is this what the Microsoft Model II looks like?"

As soon as Catherine came in, she saw a case marked "Microsoft II".

There are many others next to them, but each one is different, but it is obvious that the appearance of the Microsoft II computer clearly continues the appearance of the Microsoft computer.

In this regard, Catherine only issued a letter of intent to Sanders, and she has not seen the specifics yet.

"It's not finalized yet. We're deciding to select a device and show it to you," Sanders said.

Although Sanders is the president, Catherine is the boss.

"Split."

Catherine said one word.

"What?"

"I said, disassemble. Separate the host computer and monitor, disassemble it, remove the keyboard, and make them all into separate parts." Catherine said.

Catherine thought for a while, then asked for a piece of paper.

She drew a schematic diagram of a computer on the paper, and then drew a schematic diagram of the main chassis.

"We turn the keyboard and mouse into peripherals. We can also add speakers to the system. The separation of the host computer and the monitor allows us to more easily replace equipment such as CPUs, graphics cards, and memory."

Catherine talks so eloquently.

She looks at today's equipment from a 21st century perspective.

Although it only had one appearance, Catherine was quite satisfied with the appearance of this late-20th-century computer.

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

Catherine actually prefers this kind of monitor, because CRT can display infinite colors and can also restore the true color of objects. LCD monitors can only be said to be semi-color, with a maximum of 16 million colors, and the restoration is not as realistic as CRT.

But LCD is the future trend after all.

Catherine shook her head secretly.

If this monitor were LCD, my computer would probably look more stylish, right?

Unfortunately, that was at least 20 years later.

"Okay, let's go to Blizzard next!"

After seeing Intel and Apple, Catherine suddenly became interested and decided to continue visiting her own company.

Sometimes, it is also a very pleasant thing to inspect your own wealth. It is no wonder that there are "misers" in this world. Of course, Catherine is not a miser. Only by spending wealth can you bring more to yourself.

much wealth.
