  • When Is a Microprocessor Not a Microprocessor? the Industrial Construction of Semiconductor Innovation I
    Ross Bassett When is a Microprocessor not a Microprocessor? The Industrial Construction of Semiconductor Innovation I In the early 1990s an integrated circuit first made in 1969 and thus ante­ dating by two years the chip typically seen as the first microprocessor (Intel's 4004), became a microprocessor for the first time. The stimulus for this piece ofindustrial alchemy was a patent fight. A microprocessor patent had been issued to Texas Instruments, and companies faced with patent infringement lawsuits were looking for prior art with which to challenge it. 2 This old integrated circuit, but new microprocessor, was the ALl, designed by Lee Boysel and used in computers built by his start-up, Four-Phase Systems, established in 1968. In its 1990s reincarnation a demonstration system was built showing that the ALI could have oper­ ated according to the classic microprocessor model, with ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), and I/O (Input/ Output) forming a basic computer. The operative words here are could have, for it was never used in that configuration during its normal life­ time. Instead it was used as one-third of a 24-bit CPU (Central Processing Unit) for a series ofcomputers built by Four-Phase.3 Examining the ALl through the lenses of the history of technology and business history puts Intel's microprocessor work into a different per­ spective. The differences between Four-Phase's and Intel's work were industrially constructed; they owed much to the different industries each saw itselfin.4 While putting a substantial part ofa central processing unit on a chip was not a discrete invention for Four-Phase or the computer industry, it was in the semiconductor industry.

  • Silicon Valley's Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center And
    Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story By Lee Foster Author’s Note: This article “Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story” is a chapter in my new book/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. The subject is also covered in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. In Brief In California’s Silicon Valley, you can learn about the computer and technology revolution that is affecting the world today. For instance, the story comes alive at the new Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino. In addition you can visit three great museums located, appropriately, in this Northern California epicenter of innovation. These high-tech revolutions have altered the face of San Jose and the Silicon Valley. You find the area, which is 30-50 miles south of San Francisco. It stretches along the western and southern edge of San Francisco Bay. My Osborne Computer, 1980, a copy of which can be seen at the Computer History Museum Originally a bucolic ranching region, San Jose began as a small pueblo and Spanish mission in the 18th century.
