And yet there's a reason why Woz is known to this day as a brilliant engineer. He basically did the impossible, designing color graphics and disk controllers without custom hardware. Obviously the design of a computer is much easier given custom chips.
- cromwellian 6y agoI love Woz, but he did so, because of what he was given. Apple was raking in tens of millions from the Apple 2, why didn't they give Woz a team of chip designers for the follow on products? I mean, the Mac was launched similarly with TTL based logic "GPU", compared with the Commodore Amiga 1 year later which launched with 3 custom ASICs just like the C64.
