I'm Steve Diamond, and we're doing in oral history of Bill Mensch. Thanks, Bill, for joining us. William David “Bill” Mensch: Well, thank you. Diamond: We'll be talking about a variety of subjects and your perceptions of what's happened in the past and, perhaps, where things are going in the future. Why don't we start out by talking about your youth and your education, and then we'll follow that up into your transition into the semiconductor world? Mensch: All right. Well, thanks for inviting me. It's an honor to be here right now, and I will enjoy telling you what I know about my life, how I got here. And we'll start, then, with my growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, Bucks County, about 35 miles north of Philadelphia, very rural. The dairy farm had like 26 head of cattle, and I was a middle child of eight children I grew up with. And as a result, I got to explore because it was more fun being outside of the house rather than inside the house. When I was probably about 10 years old, we may have gotten a TV. We had a radio, liked to listen to the Lone Ranger.

Mensch Jr. has developed a rechargable battery powered computer. The Mensch Computer™ is based on the W65C265S, a 16-bit microcomputer which has a W65C816S as its core. The W65C816 is the CPU for the Apple Ilgs™, Super Nintendo™ and Digital Book System™ by Franklin Electronic Publishing. The W65C265S also has four serial ports to interface with a printer, keyboard, modem and PC. Two MenschCard (PCMCIA memory card) slots provide user memory upgrade for application software and data storage. The 240X128 LCD 40 column by 16 line monochrome display is ideal for telecommunications, directory, dictionary, digital books, control, game and hobby uses. The keyboard is full-sized for easy data entry. A Sega controller interface can be used for controlling applications and selecting from menus. This computer is also ideal for evaluating the W65C265S and W65C134S. The CPU module uses the W65C265S. The keyboard module uses the W65C134S as a low power keyboard controller, interfaced through the UART using it's low power CMOS interface.
