The R&D center has absolutely a wide variety of computer models, and here, it can definitely be regarded as the largest and most varied PC computer museum in the country.

I patted the display very touchingly and turned on the switch by the way.

"Then let's use this Apple 2 for testing, although the 65C02 processor on the Kaiyang side has been delivered off the assembly line, but the engineers on the company's side have not yet developed the supporting peripheral hardware, so we can only wait patiently. ”

Briefly explained the progress of Yaoguang 2, and then saw that the computer had successfully entered the initial interface of booting, and there was no pause in his hand, plugging the floppy drive directly into it, waiting for it to be read.

"Apple's Apple series of computers is very influential in the market, the entire American market except for the IBM-PC system, that is, its largest market share, Jobs and Wads are talented geniuses, but unfortunately..."

Although Chambers is on the west side of the Pacific, he is still on the other side of the Pacific.

Apple, which single-handedly pushed open the door of PC computers, has been eroded by Wall Street capital at this time, and the founder Steve Jobs has no choice but to lose the center of power, and a generation of geniuses has ended their tragic careers.

It was only the end of October '85, less than a month after Jobs left Apple, but the impact of this incident was not small.

As a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with a strong tragic color, Jobs's experience also sounded the alarm to young entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley to a certain extent.

Regardless of what kind of legendary experience Steve Jobs will have in the future, at least people at this time are lamenting this, and it is understandable that Chambers will sigh when he sees things and thinks about people.

Wang Zhengguo, who knew the future of Apple, of course, would not be sad about this, and gently pulled out a chair and sat down, seeing that the installation of the operating system still needed some time, but he bragged along with great interest.

"That can't be said, the reason why this Apple computer company can succeed does have an inevitable causal relationship with Jobs's leadership, but as far as the current Apple 2 computer is concerned...... It doesn't really have much to do with Jobs, and you don't know about the problems between Jobs and Woz. ”

As the two founders of Apple, Jobs and Wolds were indeed on the same page in the early days of the company's founding, but later, there were differences in technical routes between the two.

Woz's personality is very technical, this guy is a technical maniac, and in the early days, Steve Jobs asked him to be a company executive, but this guy was unwilling in every way and insisted on being an engineer.

In addition, in the early years, Steve Jobs did not give shares to other founding employees of the company, but Woz jumped out and distributed his shares to other employees, which is a bit laughable.

It can be seen that Wox is a geek with a good technical level, and there is absolutely nothing to say in terms of IQ, but EQ is ..... But it's really a bit laughable.

When Jobs was fighting against the capital predators in the company, he actually tried his best to win over this entrepreneurial partner to fight against financial capital, but this guy didn't see the situation clearly, and was still obsessed with his own technology world, thinking that he could do technology honestly and be alone without participating in the high-level management struggle.

Unfortunately, the truth of the cold lips is not well known in the United States, after the isolated Jobs was purged from Apple, as the company's only surviving veteran, Watts became the next target to be purged, so in 1987, Watts also followed in the footsteps of Jobs.

If you really want to talk about the cheating nature of a partner with low emotional intelligence, then Wolds can definitely be regarded as a typical representative.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to say that the disagreement between him and Steve Jobs is simply due to his lack of emotional intelligence, and there are also many differences between the two on the choice of the development route of computer technology in the relevant company.

As early as after the success of the Apple 1 computer, there was an analysis between Jobs and Wads in the development of subsequent models, just like after the previous Yaoguang 1 computer, Wang Zhengguo and Chambers had differences on the follow-up improvement route.

The difference is that Wang Zhengguo and Chambers are not tenacious people, and they can still compromise with each other after discussion, but Jobs is different from Wads, both of whom are very assertive and will not give up their positions easily.

So, after visiting the graphics operating system of the Alot company, Jobs insisted on developing a new product family and adopting the graphics operating system.

This led to Apple's launch of the Lisa computer in '83, and although the project ultimately failed, the Macintosh developed on this basis was a great success, which is also the most important legacy that Steve Jobs left before leaving Apple.

Unlike Steve Jobs's insistence on developing a graphics operating system, Woz was decidedly more traditional and brainless in his technical route.

This guy chose to continue to expand hardware capabilities on the basis of Apple 1, adding more interfaces, new hardware features, better performance processors, and larger memory, which were the mainstream in the eighties, but he chose to continue the old routine in the operating system, thinking that the use of DOS system can sit back and relax.

Under the influence of such a technical concept, the technical team led by Wolds and the technical team of Jobs parted ways, which led to the two series of Apple 2 and Apple 3.

As for the Apple 2 series, the only Apple 2GS that uses a graphics operating system, that thing was actually launched in a hurry when Watts was about to be kicked out of Apple, mainly because Watts himself reacted at that time and realized the huge potential of the graphics operating system, but well....

Late!

The conflict within Apple is tragic, and the relationship between Watts and Jobs is full of drama, naturally, when Chambers points to the Apple 2 computer to miss Jobs, it seems a little funny, if he points to Lisa and Macintosh next to him, that's fine.

"Okay, the system is already installed, let's see how it works. Chambers probably also noticed that his behavior was a little funny, so naturally he didn't continue to miss it, but talked about the graphics operating system that had been successfully installed.

When Yan Yuanchao was in Boston,It's based on the Apple 2 hardware to make the system,Naturally now installed on the Apple 2 will not have any compatibility problems,It's relatively stable in all aspects,It's a pity that this Apple 2 computer doesn't have a mouse interface,You can only operate the graphics system up and down through the ASD on the keyboard。

But even so, this product with the successful elements of the later graphics operating system still has incomparable convenience, not to mention Wang Zhengguo's intimacy after seeing this thing, just Chambers has been completely conquered after being familiar with it in just a few minutes.

With his hands on the keyboard for a long time, he was so excited to stare at the flashing cursor on the screen.

After a long time, he reacted: "Genius idea, epoch-making product, perfect technology! This is definitely the most suitable computer operating system for the land under our feet, we have mastered the core technology of the giant ship of the PC computer market in the next ten years, the future.... It will definitely belong to Yaoguang!"

The expression of almost fanaticism, which also shows that Chambers is extremely excited at this time.

Just by looking at Chambers's operations, I probably already know what the specific situation of this operating system is, and according to Wang Zhengguo's assessment, it can probably be regarded as "in vain".

Of course, the so-called mere form is not a derogatory term, but compared with those mature graphics operating systems decades later, it is already very good to have such an evaluation.

"The graphics operating system must not be without a mouse, and the Apple 2 computer cannot be connected to an external mouse, and we can't solve this problem for the time being, but in the design of Yaoguang 2, it is absolutely necessary to take this aspect into account, and the mouse is the most important finishing touch. ”

Regarding the development of the optical mouse, Wang Zhengguo did not tell Chambers here, after all, that thing is too important, and it is best not to show off it casually before applying for a patent.

Besides, the development of that thing is not small, and it may not be possible to make it at any time, and Wang Zhengguo himself has no bottom in his heart.

Fortunately, there are not a few mice on sale in this world, and the mechanical mouse is temporarily used in the early stage, and it can probably be improvised.

"Is the developer of this operating system still Chief Engineer Yan? I remember that he was not studying in Boston? Is there still time to do development there, but he is really energetic, I suddenly hope that he can rush back as soon as possible, and the development of Yaoguang 2 here cannot be slowed down. ”

Now that we have clearly seen the importance of the graphics operating system, there is no reason to let it go, and the system is developed and perfected in the fastest possible time, and it can run stably on Yaoguang 2, which is the most critical and core technology.

Although the operating system is very simple, the main reason is due to lack of manpower and lack of time, but it is definitely no problem in terms of technology, and it happens that he is going to return to China in the near future. ”

As for the development of the graphics operating system, in fact, we can only look at a rough idea of this semi-finished product, and we simply put it aside for the time being.

The development of Yaoguang 2 computer is not only the operating system, but also the hardware is also indispensable, in addition to the core microprocessor CPU, other supporting hardware also profoundly affects the progress of the project.

"By the way, now that the development of Yaoguang 2 is gradually on the table, the work of supporting upstream industry companies in the computer industry chain as mentioned before, has there been any major progress recently?"

Needless to say, the importance of the computer industry to the national economy is needless to say, the industries involved in the upstream and downstream of the entire industrial chain are simply varied, and it is absolutely not enough to cultivate a strong computer industry chain alone.

Everyone, including Chambers, is well aware of this, and even the Sichuan and Shu provincial governments have directly intervened with administrative power, allocating special funds to support the entire industrial chain, and strive to improve the upstream and downstream industries.

That is, the government of the republic can have such a strong ability to intervene in the economy, although Chambers grew up in the free market economic environment of the United States, this does not mean that he is completely opposed to government intervention, after all, the part of the intervention of the government of the republic at this time is beneficial to the subsidiary of Yao Optoelectronics.

At this time, who will be full of food and support, will they still jump out and say that the government is not good?

"There are many companies that have come to me to negotiate, supporting the production of hardware, memory, power supply, circuit boards, and displays, but the most memorable thing for me is that one unit is directly aimed at the computer motherboard, which is not so easy to get the technology. ”

The technical content of the computer motherboard does not seem to be high, after all, it is just the design and production of circuit boards, but if anyone really underestimates the importance of the motherboard because of this, it will definitely suffer a big loss.

Since the motherboard is a platform for integrating and connecting various hardware, it is an analogy that the motherboard is a supermarket, and the corresponding memory, chips, power supplies and other equipment are the sales areas of the major counters in the supermarket.

If the design of the supermarket itself is not reasonable enough, the space allocation is problematic, the reception capacity is insufficient, and the safety measures such as ventilation and fire protection are not good enough, then no matter how good the counters are and how big the brands are, the supermarket will definitely not be prosperous.

In the same way, if the design of the motherboard is unreasonable, it will not be able to give full play to the maximum performance of the hardware, so this is definitely a very test of the designer's basic skills.

"Is it? Then what kind of products did this unit originally have, if it doesn't have strong technical capabilities, I'm afraid he won't be able to win the motherboard business, right?" Wang Zhengguo is very curious about who is so bold, it's really okay!

"I have a general understanding of the background of this company, the technical strength should be there, it is said to be a company that develops military radar, and the technology in electronic circuits is absolutely right, after all, this is a military product. ”

Whether at home or abroad, companies that make military products usually have a high-tech halo bonus, not to mention a tall product like radar.

In the United States, the companies that can produce radar are definitely the superpredators in the electronics industry, including Raytheon, General Motors, Grumman and other companies, and these units that can produce radar almost include more than half of the experts in the field of electronic circuits in the United States.

The same situation existed in the Republic, and when Chambers learned that there was a company engaged in the development of military radars to develop computer motherboards for Yaoguang Electronics, he was really excited.

"And you know, right? This company is not far from our Shudu, this time they got the key support quota of the Shudu government, and they will move to our science and technology park next year, and then they will be neighbors, I feel that this is about to become the 128 highway on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and it will be the most cutting-edge semiconductor electronics industry cluster in Asia. ”

If you want to talk about the units around Shudu that develop radars, this news is not difficult to guess, think about it There are only two possibilities at most, Neijiang's 607 is counted as one, it seems that this unit did start to have a military-to-civilian project in the 80s.

Another may be the Changhong Factory in Fucheng, which also produces military radars and began to produce television sets in the late seventies, which is also an electronic circuit giant.

However, if you think about it carefully, if Changhong Factory wants to get a piece of the pie in the computer industry, wouldn't it be better to choose to make a display? It is completely possible to continue to give full play to its original advantages, and it should not be possible to develop a motherboard or something.
