  1. This interview by @savetz with Rick Reaser, published under the auspices of @ataripodcast, is well worth a listen!

    Rick talks a mile a minute and drops in gems about how the first generation of #GPS satellites used a pair of 4-bit bit sliced ALUs as their CPUs (not dissimilar to the CPU design on the #CenturionComputer that Dave from Usagi Electric has been working on?) and the next generation of GPS satellites ("block II") used a radiation-hardened microprocessor from Texas Instruments.

    Rick describes #Commodore64 computers being used at #Rockwell to run test harnesses for the GPS satellites.

    He also describes pushing the #Atari8bit to the max of its capabilities for productivity tasks like #WordProcessing, #Database, #Spreadsheet and communications applications.

    Terrific stuff.
