- These chips were offered to the
- video game industry, but no one was
- buying. So in October, Jack Tramiel
- ordered a 64 KB home computer to be
- built around the video and sound
- capabilities. The prototype was to be
- ready for the Consumer Electronics
- Show in Las Vegas in January -- just
- two months away.
