The Z80 was originally a product of the 70s, and the worse 6502 CPU was just chosen by Nintendo in the 80s. In terms of FC technology, it was able to appear in the 70s, but there was no video game industry at all.

Weight is not a problem, after all, she thinks that the console can be put there, the so-called weight, that is a matter for later consideration. Now seizing the market is king. It's a big deal to wait for the Z80 to be developed successfully in the future, and then make a lite version.

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

In order to reduce the difficulty of getting started when novices first play the game, Catherine's understanding of some of the numbers in the game is still different from the original. For example, in the game, "Mario" often slides, and in the later "New Super Mario Bros.", the feel has been significantly improved, and Catherine has come to this standard.

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

As for Catherine herself...... She just needs to be in charge of playing.

"We can go and promote XBOX now, and it's not a problem to make a product, we just need to ask Blizzard to make a few more games."

There are a lot of classic games on FC.

"Contra", "Gold Digger", "Popeye", "Little Bee" and so on, these games can be said to be a creation in the game industry.

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

The storage capacity is now extremely high.

Even if Catherine reduces the cost of the game console to less than $1,000, I'm afraid the storage cost of each game will be as high as $2,000~$5,000, a cost that Catherine can't afford.

The maximum size of the game cartridge is 4~16KB, and if it is now on sale in XBOX, the maximum capacity can reach 2MB.

In that case, the cost will increase by tens, or even hundreds of times, how can the average person afford it?

Catherine had some headaches.

"Storage capacity is the big problem."

Sanders nodded approvingly.

"Maybe there's a better way?" Catherine frowned.

Compact disc?

Yes, in the 80's began to be one of the most popular storage devices.

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

What's more, the bit error rate of optical discs at the beginning is too high, and it is fine as a video device, but if it becomes a storage medium...... That's the big problem.

Therefore, cassette storage is still the mainstream at present, and the only way now is for Sanders to mobilize and work hard to tackle key problems. Even digging into the wall from IBM's big stupid elephant.

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

And Sanders is trying to win it from Fairchild's side, and the contradictions within Fairchild are gradually increasing, and the "Eight Rebellions", which led Fairchild to glory at that time, also began to have many contradictions with Fairchild.

In 1955, William Shockley, the "father of transistors", left the Bell Chambers to create the Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. He has attracted many talented young scientists. But soon, Shockley's management methods and bizarre behavior caused dissatisfaction among employees. Eight of them decided to resign together, and Shawley angrily called them the "Eight Rebels".

The parent company's general manager continued to shift profits to the East Coast to support Fairchild's profitability. Now it has caused dissatisfaction among many people within Fairchild.

In fact, by now, there have been people in contact with Intel. Kim Herney, Sheldon Roberts, and Eugene Clare were the first to come into contact with them, and they expressed a strong interest in Intel.

Historically, the eight rebels were also the first three of them to leave Fairchild.

As long as someone in the Eight Rebellions leaves the company first, their company will begin to avalanche, and in history, it will also lose a large number of excellent technicians.

As long as they join...... At least your own company's problems can be solved greatly.

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

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

So it's convenient.

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

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

There are many more on the side, but each one is different, but it is clear that the shape of the Microsoft II computer is obviously a continuation of the shape of the Microsoft computer.

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

"It's not finalized yet. We're deciding to pick a device and we'll show you. Sanders said.

Although Sanders is the president, Catherine is the general boss.

"Split."

Catherine said one word.

"What?"

"I said, split. Separate the main unit and the monitor, take it apart, and detach the keyboard to make it all into separate parts. Catherine said.

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

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

"We turn keyboards and mice into peripherals, and we can also add speakers to the system, and the separation of the main unit and the monitor makes it easier for us to change equipment. CPU, graphics card, memory and so on. ”

Catherine spoke so eloquently.

She is looking at today's equipment with a 21st century perspective.

Although there is only one appearance, Catherine looks at this computer shape from the end of the 20th century, and she is quite satisfied.

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

Catherine actually prefers such a display because the CRT can display infinite colors, and it can also reproduce the true color of objects. The LCD display can only be said to be a semi-color, with a maximum of 16 million colors, and the degree of restoration is not as true as CRT.

But liquid crystals are the trend of the future after all.

Catherine shook her head secretly.

If this monitor is LCD, your own computer, it probably looks more stylish, right?

Unfortunately, that was at least 20 years later.

"Okay, let's go to Blizzard!"

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

Sometimes, it is also a pleasant thing to inspect one's wealth. It's no wonder that there are "misers" in this world. Of course, Catherine wasn't a miser. Wealth, only by spending it, can you bring more wealth to yourself.

……

Ten thousand years as one, ask for tickets......
