It's catching

Sun, 5 Apr 2015, Peter Johnson remarked: I remember PC reviewers mocking Amstrad for integrating components on the motherboard - common practice now. What people didn't understand was that we were using the latest silicon technology to reduce the parts count and make the computers easier to build and more reliable. As well as lowering the cost. iirc there were as many chips on IBM's graphics adapter card as in the whole of the PCW1512, and similarly the parts count inside a contemporary EPSON matrix printer was higher than the whole PCW - system unit, VDU, keyboard and printer combined. -- Roland Perry |
