Chapter 288 Walkman with Backpackers

Although Catherine understands the reluctance head technology, Catherine does not know much about the content of the technology itself. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

She is not like the protagonists in YY's novels, who know everything in heaven and earth......

In fact, I know so many things because my memory has been enhanced since I came to this world.

After writing down the general contents of the magnetoresistive head technique on paper, Catherine went to the top of the bookcase and pulled out a book on magnetism, and Catherine looked at it, and she wanted to make sure that her theory was correct - if she remembered something wrong and someone found out, it would be a big deal.

It took about two hours for Catherine to complete an overview of the magnetoresistive head technology. The word count is small and the content of the article is very general, but it is the same thing that Catherine has always done - to point out a direction for technicians to study.

"Sanders? Come to my office and I've got a question for you. ”

Catherine called Sanders over.

"I'm going to develop a hard drive." As soon as Sanders entered, Catherine's words startled him.

"We ...... Developing hard drives? "There's something strange about Sanders.

"Yes, hard drives. It's a must. ”

But why is that? Our system can store ZÀI in read-only memory, so that the read speed is fast and there are no accidents. ”

"It's a server, and I'm going to use this thing in a server device, so I have to use this." Catherine shrugged.

"Server...... You're saying we're going to develop new servers for the Internet? ”

Catherine gives Sanders the plan from Ralph before.

"That's it."

Sanders picked up the planner and, after looking at it for a few minutes, nodded.

"I see. Other words...... Are we not ready to use the IBM hard drive we bought? ”

"No...... Let's use it for the time being, in a few years, it will be difficult for our hard disk to beat IBM. ”

In the 70s, IBM's hard drives were expanding at a rate of 30% per year. It is definitely not possible to catch up, but there is another way for yourself, and that is this magnetoresistive head technology.

"Sanders, do you think this is possible?"

Catherine handed Sanders what she had just written.

"Hmm...... Although I don't know much about hard drives, it seems that it is not impossible to achieve the things mentioned above. ”

"Miss Sanders?"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

It was Olsen who came in.

Catherine stopped discussing with Sanders and asked, "Are you done with it?" ”

Olsen nodded: "If it's a small computer, our cost is about $10,000 to $35,000, depending on what kind of server we need." ”

"And what if it's a microcomputer?"

"The words of the microcomputer...... The best solution should be to use the military version of the Z80, which is stable and reliable, but in this case, it is difficult for us to face the current network, so the people in the technical department think that at least a 16-bit CPU needs to be used, and SFC is quite suitable. ”

"There are no problems in this regard, we at Intel are working on a military version of SFC." Sanders said.

"The one used on tanks?" Olsen seemed to hear something.

"Well, that's it." Sanders nodded.

"With a microcomputer, the Z80 supports very small memory, while the SFC can support up to 4MB of memory, which is very beneficial for our product development."

Catherine nodded.

Nowadays, the computer memory is not played, and SFC can support up to 4MB memory, which is already incredible in the eyes of many people.

It's like in the era of 512MB memory, someone has already used 4GB of RAM, and it will always make people's eyes widen.

“…… In addition, our technical department has built a firewall on the server, just like the one we developed for the CIA. Servers are different from regular computers, and if someone hacks into them, they can cause some big trouble. ”

Catherine nodded, this is indeed an important question. There are some things that are best prevented. Catherine was very positive about Olsen's opinion.

"There's one more thing......"

"So...... Regarding the problem of hard drives, I will discuss it with a technician. Sanders spoke suddenly.

"Oh...... I'm sorry. Catherine suddenly found herself forgetting about Sanders: "So be it." ”

Sanders picked up Catherine's copy and left.

Catherine, on the other hand, turned her attention to Olsen again.

"Olsen, what's the other thing you're talking about?"

"Oh, it's about the Walkman, the technical department has developed a new product, but although it can listen to songs...... But it's hard to shrink in size. ”

"Oh?"

Walkman researched out so quickly?

Catherine didn't expect such a big surprise today.

"Really?"

"We've tried it. The soundtrack is perfect. ”

"Okay, I'll go see ...... now" At this time, the phone suddenly rang, and Catherine had to say: "Elsa, you go and go with Olsen and bring me the Walkman." ”

The call came from the Los Angeles Times, and they wanted to discuss the electronic version of the newspaper with American Telecom, but there was no way to realize the means of online payment for the time being, so so far, they could only use the telephone order.

By the time they hung up the phone, Elsa and Olsen had returned, and Olsen was holding a round and flat object in his hand.

"Here's a report of the product, Miss Edson."

Olsen handed a report to Catherine.

"That's the CD Walkman?" Elsa looked at this huge thing, and it was really hard to associate it with "carrying".

"It's a half-finished product, to be exact...... But it can already be used to listen to songs, and the effect is definitely better than those cassette players. Olsen explained.

Perhaps because of the "premature birth" relationship, many electronic components are now unable to be miniaturized, so only such a semi-finished product can appear.

However, compared to tape players, this disc player is considered advanced, and it is also very lightweight.

"Hmm...... Can this product be scaled down even further? Catherine asked.

"Yes, but it will take two or three years." Olsen poured cold water on Catherine.

Catherine shook her head, that would definitely not work.

"It's 1.8 kilograms...... "Catherine looked at the parameters next to her.

After putting the battery, it is 2 kg.

In this way, it is obviously impossible to make a "Walkman", but does it have to be made into a Walkman?

Catherine was thinking.

"Maybe we should make this product a very stylish thing, Elsa, if you say something like this, will many people like it?"

Elsa seemed to be thinking about something.

"Maybe...... Today's young people should like to be mavericks, and those people (hippies) like to run around the streets every day, and they like to do parades. I often see them walking around the street carrying a huge player......"

Catherine looked at the half-finished machine and thought for a moment.

"Hmm...... What if we designed this 'Walkman' in the style of a backpack? ”

Catherine thought, then picked up a pen and paper, and sketched out what the backpack would look like.

"How about making it like this?"

"It's beautiful." This is Elsa's answer.

"Very good." Olsen nodded.

Although both of them hated to agree, this was a sketch after all, and there was a lot to be done on the design.

"Let's just use a backpack...... Do you think there is anything else that needs to be strengthened about this 'Walkman'? ”

Elsa said: "It's important to have more songs, because everyone has their own favorite songs, so the number of songs must be large. ”

Catherine strongly agrees with Elsa's opinion.

"Well, that's true, we're going to contact the record companies and ask them to make us the audio tracks......"

In fact, Catherine wasn't much worried about that.

There is a considerable advantage between CDs and now tapes.

First of all, the CD can store a very large capacity, so it can better restore the sound quality. And the CD can achieve multiple audio tracks, giving people a wonderful enjoyment.

Catherine actually has no special talent for music or anything, and it is difficult to distinguish the subtle vocal differences, so she is destined not to be like the protagonists of those YY novels, singing and picking up girls at the same time.

But Catherine still knows about people's love for it.

Why are there professional-grade sound cards? Why is there a home theater?

Most people want to keep their ears in a state of enjoyment, not listening to bad music.

Catherine once had a friend in her previous life who was a music enthusiast, and he bought a professional sound card, a high-fidelity headphones worth 1,000 yuan. In the general 10 yuan headphones, you can't hear the MP3 and APE respectively, and it instantly becomes two different grades.

So Catherine knew that in terms of sound quality, she couldn't be like those cheap players.

This is like the "future" Apple's iphone4 mobile phone, which uses "retina" technology and ultra-fine pictures, which makes people feel fashionable and superior when they take out their mobile phones.

Catherine is now ready to turn this "Walkman" into a similar product.

The design of the exterior is important, then the amount of music, and finally the difference in sound quality.

It is Catherine's stated strategy to turn Apple into a high-end product, and as Apple becomes more and more high-end, low-end oranges will also appear in due course.

At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to call it "Walkman", so what is the best way to call it?

"Backpackers? What's the name? That's the name of this player."

Catherine said.

“ers？ Sounds pretty good. Olsen seemed to agree.

"Uh-huh, that's settled—ers."
