Signetics

Went on to the Ford Motor Company and was doing work for them for a couple of years, and then joined Atari in May of 1977.

His first project when we, he was there was actually an unreleased hardware project, code-named Project Rosemary, that we don't really know much of anything about except that it was using a Signetics chipset, and that it was a home system.

It appears that Atari was doing a lot of exploratory work around home systems.

They didn't know if the VCS was gonna be a success.

They didn't know how long the VCS was gonna be successful, and so they had a few different projects going on at this time.

Signetics had a video game chipset.

It made its way into a lot of European consoles, which we've talked about in our European console episode.

So we don't have to talk about that here, but Atari was actually working with presumably that chipset, because I don't know what other Signetics chipset they would've worked with in that time period.
