This is almost certainly a hoax. All the info on this so-called computer in that Cnet article came from one Bill Pentz. His LinkedIn page is incredible. He claims to have created the IMSAI 8080 and Wordstar alongside other provably false claims. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-pentz-29584711/details/experience/ Tag: Reverted |
Removed atrocious unreliable source. The author is a perpetuator of hoaxes about his own accomplishments. See his linkedin for more on how he created the IMSAI 8080 and founded ComputerLand and created WordStar and created the standard test programs used by all the major chip manufacturers and built the first Old Spaghetti Factory alongside other equally fanciful claims. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-pentz-29584711/details/experience/ Tag: Reverted |

A major milestone in software development was the invention of the [[Very Large Scale Integration]] (VLSI) circuit (1964).
[[Robert Noyce]], co-founder of [[Fairchild Semiconductor]] (1957) and [[Intel]] (1968), achieved a technological improvement to refine the [[Semiconductor device fabrication|production]] of [[field-effect transistor]]s (1963).<ref name="digital_age">{{cite book

}}</ref> The MOS transistor is the primary component in ''integrated circuit chips''.<ref name="digital_age"/>
Originally, integrated circuit chips had their function set during manufacturing. During the 1960s, controlling the electrical flow migrated to programming a [[Diode matrix|matrix]] of [[read-only memory]] (ROM). The matrix resembled a two-dimensional array of fuses.
