On page B6, in an article titled "Yet Another
'Father' Of the
Microprocessor Wants Recognition", there is discussion of Ray Holt, an
ex-Navy engineer who claims to have created the microprocessor in 1969, two
years before Hoff, Faggin, and Mazor created the integrated processor.
Actually, its on page B3.
In the last paragraph, "This week, Mr. Holt
will officially launch a
campaign to make his name. On Saturday, he will be a featured speaker at a
gathering of Silicon Valley computer buffs, the Vintage Computer Festival in
Santa Clara, Calif., where he will be joined by members of his original team
and publicly discuss his invention for the first time."
The article only raises more questions. At the VCF we will answer them,
and a new chapter in the history of the development of the microprocessor
will be written.
Congrats Sam!
Thanks!
