Steve Wozniak recreated a disk controller in assembly on a motorola 68k chip in less than a day, and it worked pretty much perfectly first time, and you are complaining that he's not much of a hacker?
What do you do in your spare time, if I may ask politely?
- bodyfour 15y ago6502, not 68k
- vessenes 15y agoOops, thanks!
- cma 15y agoFrom his head and from his listings? How much was from the listings? Do you know what listings are? (I know Woz is a godly Hacker, I'm just playing devil's advocate)
- palish 15y agoHeh. For what it's worth (and at the risk of karma annihilation), you're probably correct. A lot of the seemingly-godly things people have done are from 'simple tricks' that they've learned. People just don't like to admit it. Woz was as brilliant as technical brilliance could possibly ever be, though.
