This doesn't seem right.. As far as I know the Apple I was pretty much exclusively designed by Steve Wozniak.
- Taniwha 5y agoI've worked with Pete, he's the real deal, worked on early MAC hardware, did the 'hobbit' chip - a Crisp implementation intended for the Newton (cancelled after working silicon came back)
- GeorgeTirebiter 5y agoHobbit was used by EO for the EO 440 and EO 880. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EO_Personal_Communicator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EO_Personal_Communicator and the chips, for their time, were astounding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Hobbit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Hobbit
- Taniwha 5y agoI don't think that they used the chip that Pete did for Apple
- luma 5y agoAccording to his LinkedIn, he "Developed chips for the Mac and Mac II, including the Apple Sound Chip." Presumably the author here didn't catch the difference between the Mac and the original Apple computers.
