Technology spent 1981 developing two
remarkable chips for video games. The
Sound Interface Device offered a three

These chips were offered to the
video game industry, but no one was
buying. So in October, Jack Tramiel
ordered a 64 KB home computer to be
built around the video and sound
capabilities. The prototype was to be
ready for the Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas in January -- just
two months away.
