The software industry was disturbed, the balance of the personal computer industry was also broken, and the first generation of personal computers of Wang An's company finally appeared.

In terms of the use of hardware, Wang An's computer is also quite conservative, basically on par with Apple's second-generation machine.

You must say that this is a little bit bigger word processor as well, and their design is really lackluster.

But big factories are big factories, and their computers are also quite sought after by the market, and the personal computer market has ushered in the era of melee for the first time.

The price of White Software has been drastically reduced, prompting computer manufacturers to also increase their publicity efforts. Many users who are holding on to the fence are no longer waiting.

The theory of the uselessness of microcomputers was once again ridiculed, which made some old guys very embarrassed.

Whether it is useful or not, experts say that it doesn't matter, this is something that consumers should decide, why should the brick family overstep the bounds, or give young people more opportunities.

As the first giant to step into the personal PC, Wang An Computer naturally realized the vastness of the market, and the unit price of the PC was much higher than that of the word processing machine.

Such a good start naturally caused the dissatisfaction of Qiao Dashen.

"William, you have to be fast, our Lisa project can't wait. ”

Listening to Qiao Dashen's slightly complaining tone, William White didn't care.

"Old Joe, our beta version is already in place, your problem is the production link, and my software can't be sold only one, you can also see, our competitors are also very powerful. William White didn't eat his set, and just dumped the pot.

"Okay, okay, don't forget your promise. ”

"Well, don't worry, I'm very creditworthy. ”

For Qiao Dashen's request, William White is also powerless to complain, what if you provide the software of the Apple system for three months first, your Lisa project is so rubbish, it is definitely something that cannot be restored.

Qiao Dashen doesn't know that his biggest opponent is not Wang An, the blue giant Gabi Gates is the key, Wang An's system is the same as Apple, it is exclusive, and it will definitely not be able to beat the blue giant with a group of younger brothers.

Qiao Dashen didn't take Bill Gates seriously, and helped Bill Bill with his business, and even instigated Microsoft to engage in office software.

Bill Gates does have a headache now, it's nonsense to say that he is not moved, but he is not so impulsive, William White is not so easy to deal with, it is better not to clash head-on.

"Boss, Microsoft has received an order from the Blue Giant, and although the news is very secretive, we still learned about it. ”

For this result, although William White was disappointed, he did not care very much. "Well, Tom, look up their plans, Microsoft can't make it out of thin air, they acquired it, or got some authorization. ”

"Okay, boss, I'll check it out right away. Seeing the boss, he didn't have a very unhappy tone, and his heart finally let go.

"Is SDOS about to make a shining debut? Why are you still looking forward to it?"

In a sense, this is actually insider trading, what system does Bill Gates have, SDOS is just garbage that he bought, and he changed it a little and then took it out and sold it.

No matter when IBPC appears, White Software will be the first to launch supporting software, and these things sold now are just a small fight, if they fall behind in the next wave, there will be no White Software in this world.

Joe Dashen has encountered challenges, and so has William White, not only in the software field, but also in the arcade machine.

Motorola's 60 series, in fact, there is a derivative, take the 68 series derived from the 65 series, and the very sad point is that this thing does not belong to Motorola.

Similar to the reason for the birth of AD, due to different concepts, the core personnel found another way.

This OC company is also wonderful, the CPUs of the 6502 series are almost open source, and it seems that any factory can produce them, and the cost required is close to zero.

Now it is a dream to monopolize, Apple's first and second generations use this CPU, and Atari's 2600 also uses this chipset.

In William White's view, the potential of the 6 is undoubtedly greater, and if a breakthrough can be made in low power consumption, the potential of this chip is absolutely huge.

"Boss, Mr. Filson is here. ”

"Well, let's get him to the conference room, and we'll have a meeting. ”

"Okay, boss. ”

It is not difficult to obtain authorization from Motorola, but it is more difficult to acquire the chip division as a whole, but William White was not reconciled and decided to give it a try.

"Filson, what did Motorola say?"

"Boss, there is no problem with production authorization, their production capacity and yield are not good, and they are also looking for a third-party factory. ”

"Alas, there won't be anything in the short term, and it definitely won't work in the long term, can the few guys who went to the OC pack it up and dig it back?"

Filson thought about it for a moment and said, "If there is enough interest, I believe they will not refuse." ”

"Okay, go do this right away, and tell the footbasin man semiconductor manufacturer that we need a collaborator. ”

To some extent, William White is also a cocoon, Motorola originally didn't have any ideas about the chip department, but with the arcade machine of the legendary world, it is different, and this department is obviously also very profitable.

His TV game console doesn't want to use the 6502 anymore, although this thing is very good, but the threshold is too low, Atari developed on this basis, and it is easy to pose a threat to him.

It's not appropriate to take 6 directly, there is indeed a huge waste, the frequency of the red and white machine is less than 2 Hz, why should he go too high.

The only problem is bandwidth, the red and white machine has had technical failures, mainly caused by insufficient bandwidth, which is the congenital deficiency of the 8-bit processor.

Since that group of geniuses can make an 8-bit processor on the basis of 60, then the 16-bit one will not be difficult, and if this thing is made, it will definitely beat Intel's 8080.

In fact, Motorola is also hesitating, in their opinion, although 60 still has potential, the profit margin is just like that, this thing has fallen from 320 US dollars to dozens of US dollars, according to the current form, it may fall to 50 US dollars.

William White didn't have time to dwell on it, and the departments began to act quickly.

In this way, Motorola obviously can't sit still, people don't want 6, it's obviously a chip for TV game consoles.

It is not difficult for them to come to the above conclusions, what people need is design authorization, which is directly intended to be modified on the basis of 60, it is too simple to come to this conclusion, why are their CPUs desperately falling in price, isn't it just being pitted by OC, and the lawsuits have been entangled for a long time.

William White is reasonable and willing to spend money to buy it, but OC is not so particular.

Why don't you cooperate?

"What? Divestment of the chip division cooperation?"

"Yes, boss, they don't want to sell in whole but can cooperate. ”

"Well, this can be discussed, I need at least 30 shares, and the production base will be in the footbasin, so there will be a footbasin investor. ”

"Okay, boss, we'll negotiate right away. ”
