If it is not added to the SCSI interface... Jobs silently calculated the cost of the Internet and nodded.

"OK, that's fine."

Huh~ Very good, Hongchuan Feng sighed in his heart.

"So what kind of assistance does Pingfeng need from SIC? In addition to chips, they can send technicians to assist your developers in adapting chips to the system."

If you want to get the ticket to enter North Mi, Hongchuan Kai is very active.

The mistake of his attentiveness, Gang Qiao also felt very satisfied.

“He once asked people from the development team to try out our chips.

In terms of nature, it is on the same level as Motorola, and it is very mature in Intel.

But no, our chip has an advantage. "Jobs raised his leg and pointed at the two points, "then it's very simple and convenient."

The reason why SIC chips attract Jobs is whether developers consistently feedback that SIC chips are developed after using related chips is simple.

The reason is that its instruction set is much simplified than other chips on the market.

The advantage of doing this is whether the instruction format is unified, there are fewer types, and the addressing method is smaller than that of complex instruction sets.

During use, developers will of course feel that the processing speed of the chip has been greatly improved.

And Jobs' plan is far more than just buying SIC chips. "Pingbao is preparing to develop a brand new series of computers, which is different from LISA, but at high quality, but at high quality, it is not inferior to LISA.

Outside they called it Macintosh, and he is currently in charge of that project.”

Macintosh? Is that the Mac later?

Hongchuan Feng's eyes lit up, and tomorrow seemed to have participated in something amazing.

"If SIC wants to get orders for Macintosh, then we must promise. In the future, if the SIC needs it, it must fully disclose the chip's instruction set system."

Hongchuan Feng narrowed his eyes and Gangmao Gang was very ambitious.

The instruction set does not connect the bridge between software and hardware. Only with its various circuits outside the CPU can the developer faithfully execute various commands.

At the same time, the wrong company has completely opened the instruction set, which means that the chip is authorized to the wrong party.

Gangmaster Qiao is now making that request, so are you preparing for Pingzi's core building in the future?

Is the current leader of Gang Qiao so far-sighted? Hongchuan Feng expressed doubts.

Bu Rui was wrong with his conditions, and Hongchuan Kai nodded happily, "SIC can agree to the request, but if the authorization fee is discussed in the future."

Licensing your own chip architecture to other companies is quite common in semiconductor design companies.

Even in the future, that will not be one of the profit points that chip design companies are seeking, that also applies to SICs.

Because it is just starting out and wants to make more profits, SIC has basically not let go of authorization.

Especially if Neon locally, when SIC has not fully grown up, opening up authorization early will lose a lot of profits.

But the market for SIC in Beimi is empty, and it doesn’t matter if it is open to authorize it to Pingfeng, at least it is very profitable.

And if the situation changes in the future, SIC will consider licensing all its chips to other design companies.

Of course, authorization is authorization, but the price cannot be settled now. The development of chips is changing with each passing day, and they are updated almost every year, and their prices are constantly changing.

After receiving the promise from Hongkawa Kaede, Jobs stretched out his legs again.

"Mr. Hongchuan, happy cooperation."

“Happy cooperation.”

I actually got an unexpected gain when participating in the optical drive standard conference, and Hongchuan Kaishi was also surprised.

So, is the first personal computer that really means it, or not?

No, Apple I, which was born in 1976, was the first personal computer in the world, even if it was extremely simple.

IBM, the computer giant, released its first personal computer 5150 in 1981.

Although it is not well-deserved overlords in mainframes and compatible machines in IBM, it is not a latecomer in the personal computer business.

Because IBM has changed its usual bulky figure, Bulu cleverly chose Microsoft MS-DOS and Intel 8088 compatible personal computers.

After two years of development, in 1983 next year, IBM's market share of Beimi personal computers will be 26%.

On the other hand, Pingbu, the first to eat crab, now has a 21% share of the personal computer market.

Think about it, when IBM's personal computer was first in the city, the arrogant Ping Foo once published an advertisement on the Wall Street Monthly.

“Welcome, IBM Seriously”

That's right, then Is Ping's approach like that at that time? It's either gentlemanly or arrogant.

In short, the famous scene of slow phosphine-resolution has become a classic, and it has been often teased by people in the years to come.

Now that Jobs felt the pressure, he decided to launch a computer that could be advanced and revolutionary.

The Waterloo of LISA gave him a solid blow.

Even so, Jobs' determination never changed.

LISA kicked him out of the development team, so he was ready to push Macintosh in place.

The Macintosh series originated in 1979, but its positioning is not a cheap consumer computer, and it costs around $1,000.

Jobs, who has now taken the lead in the Macintosh team, is unwilling to accept the failure of LISA and is still ready to charge towards high-size computers.

It is also easy to have conflicts with Ruskin, the leader of the team who accepted him, for this reason, which shows how firm the Joe Gang is in his belief in seeking high-end.

Compared with him, the leader of the Lei Gang in later generations was more than one step away from his determination to win at the high end.

Although Jobs was so stupid, he was not stupid either.

LISA's failure is one of the main reasons for the high price.

If you want to avoid repeating the same mistakes, you will first need to reduce the cost significantly.

Motorola's chips are too expensive and he needs to look for other alternatives.

The chips that satisfy the development team's requests are East Intel, except Motorola, which is more expensive than the former.

The SIC that accidentally enters sight initially will achieve another alternative.

After the business was negotiated, Jobs invited Hongchuan Kaede to visit Pingtao headquarters in California.

The latter also went there happily, where he first met Pingtou's system 1.0 system.

I have to say that compared to the DOS system, it is really no product of another generation.

Desktop, window, icon, cursor, menu and scroll column, then it will definitely not look like the operating system in later generations.

Hongchuan Feng gave a thumbs up at Gang Qiao, the bull pen!

After visiting Pingtao, Hongchuan Kai went to Washington again, where Microsoft's headquarters was.

I had heard that Microsoft was developing a brand new graphical system, and he also wanted to see what the original Windows looked like.

When Bulu Zhai Luozheng saw it, Hongchuan Feng couldn't help scratching his head.

Hey, why does the frame look so similar to Pingtou's system 1.0? Is there any connection there?

Cough~ It is indeed some contact, Mr. Gates, who was honest in Bulu, said that it was no coincidence.

The graphical operating system does not have the future direction of computer development, at that point, Jobs and Gates' views are consistent.

As far as Busu answered Mr. Gates's words, no, they also had a wealthy neighbor named "Xerox". He broke into the door and wanted to steal his TV, but found that he had stolen it.

When Jobs asked Gates why he cloned the Mac system, the latter's classic rebuttal.

If you say that the graphical operation interface (GUI) is not their originality, then the results of Xerox Company are not.

Just one step later is the best one.

Of course, Hongchuan Kai didn't care about the grudges, so he would not be a businessman who wanted to sell his optical drives and chips.

Like Jobs, Hongkawa Kaeda tried his best to convince Gates to add CD playback on the outside of the Windows system.

But if Microsoft and Hongchuan Electric have no direct business dealings, Gates promised that he would focus on the suggestion.

Hongchuan Electric has no computer business, otherwise, with the computer manufacturer denying Microsoft's potential customer identity, perhaps Gates directly agreed to such a request.

But it is already very good to get the support of Pingfu by taking the road step by step.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, Hongchuan Kai also visited the Windows 1.0 system under development.

Bulu and system 1.0 have been used differently, and Windows 1.0 is in a semi-finished state.

And it only has the prototype of graphical interface, and the core of the outside is still the same as the DOS system.

Seeing that Hongchuan Feng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was a lot worse than Windows in later generations.

But despite this, Hongchuan Kaishi praised Windows' innovation and innovation.

Afterwards, he did not forget to give Gates a thumbs up, a bull pen!

Well, Hongchuan Feng treats a bowl of water equally, and the leader of the Qiao Gang and Gates are treated equally.
