I like to think about how we could design our own part in the world better. I therefore
also think how our past world could have been designed.
I really regret some things, such as the failure of Novix. That the competing UK forth
chip was going be a twin chipset, which has a cost affect.
Looking back, the Novix/RTX design was excellent for a Commodore 65. On these
base machines, you didn't really need all the higher end OS features of the 68000.
Particularly machines like the Sinclair machines. It would be a great match, particularly
if you integrated some graphics features ( like multiple colour depth
resolution character tiling, scrolling, and some shared memory sprites and a basic
integrated chipset (or at a home computer level). You could loose 3 out of 4 cycles
to shared memory access through a memory hub function, and still be
competitive. The GEOS GUI package, could have made an excellent home computer. A
misc processor, even better, even on the original Atari VCS. The Sega Mega drive or
Genesis, could have flown, by that time, Computer Cowboys could have offered them a 32
bit shboom processor, a leading design. With all I know now, the time was ripe
for such a thing to happen.
Back in the day, many firms came around knocking on doors of companies, peddling
advanced gaming technology to firms. Some of the leading chipsets in game consoles,
had been peddled to multiple companies. The companies who adopted them, often
survived or led the field. But, back in 1983, there were only the Commodore 64, Nintendo,
Atari 7800 chips etc that led the way at the low end. Commodore 64's chip had
some draw backs, and something not too much more complex was needed
for the Commodore 128.
The Atari 7800 was a paid for design by a company that designed unofficial mods for
Atari Arcade games, they used arcade like technology, and was well and truely out
there, but hobbled by poorer system resources, and processor. A Novix, there,
wow. You have yourself something to come under the Atari ST and out compete
Commodore.
Commodore had bought the Fab firm, MOS Technologies at a bargain price, and used it
to undercut the competition. But, to stay up to date, you need to upgrade your fab, lots of money, so you can provide
better chips. They had problems trying to design a 16 bit 6502 replacement. A Novix, or Misc, would have
been something, which could get better performance without updating the fab. I
forget the name of the engineer there, who came up with the Commodore 128
design (which was supposed to use a much better graphics chip, but he was talked into
using an in-house part, which turned out to be much worse. I think the chip he wanted, might have been the Motorola
one people think used Amiga technology through some collaboration, the specs are
similar). He was just short of inventing the first integrated home computer shared memory chipset on the plus 4
range (which type of chipset was probably by Acorn first, who did the Electron and ARM). The issue is, that they
could have released earlier with a Novix. The 64 was really a stepping stone to
something more like latter 16 bit home computers.
One issue that really stuffed everything, is the game console crash (and at one
time home computers). This stopped the release of of the Atari 7800, and a number of
advanced consoles, and ET was hidden in the desert (joke about the ET game cartridges
:) ). But, Nintendo made heaps of money in Japan, releasing a better machine,
that was worth buying. Companies had in their hands a formular to get consumers
buying again, and pull the companies through, but many didn't release the better
machines, and suffered. So despite the bleakness, it was still an excellent time for a
Novix like cpu to be picked up by the knowledgeable (I'm not saying here the Novix as was,
but a version with bugs fixed, and some more new features. 40xx+/60xx+?).
The interesting thing is, maybe you could have a Novix derived design in a pin
compatible socket on the 64 design, or extended by 8 bits of the data bus. It maybe
have been possible to use, or largely use, the entire Commodore 64 motherboard
and other components, which Jack would have been very happy about. However,
replacing most chips and integrating functions into one socket free's up space to put
memory. Even today, FPGA's are put into modules, which go into these sockets, as
replacement repair parts.
Now, the Atari VCS with such a chip, but better misc, from the beginning, would have
allowed much better performance and clearer upgrade path. It's graphics modes are software driven, so
a better CPU would help. I've come up with a insane theoretical design for an
game engine for the VCS, which could enable you to develop games of the level of
Sonic the Hedgehog on it, which would look like the version on the Sega Master
System. With a misc or Novix like design, things could be even better. There is
absolutely no real market for something like that on the VCS today, but I am thinking
of including it on the retro gaming chip I have planned, and a new object orientated
programming system to complement Forth. The retro chip was to use massive
compression techniques but, every redirection to the eventual data destination,
takes up a cycle or so, or requires parallelism (tiling and tile reuse, and reusing sprites
images, are all basic compression techniques used
back then, so it's not totally unreasonable). I designed my theoretical GA144 renderer
around this problem, so, on average, nearly 0 extra cycles to the parallel pipeline, but not
enough memory for a lot of detail. But, a lot more could have been done in the 1970's
using thee techniques. The Atari 7800 chipset was indeed, using a lot of other techniques that could have
been invented and used earlier on. The way things could have been.

One additional constraint on that generation of hardware was memory bandwidth.
> My appologies for all the typing mistakes there. A bit distracted.
The Apple II relied on alternate phase access between display hardware and CPU
on standard DRAM, and _barely_ supported a limited graphics display. Commodore 64,
Atari 400/800 etc essentially froze the CPU while display was active, which is why
all the real motion artifacts were produced by hardware sprites accessing on-chip
memory. (And of course for the VCS, the CPU _was_ the graphics engine, and
any real game logic had to be done during the vertical blanking interval!)
Some of the Arcade machines used dual-ported DRAM or interleaved
banks of nybble-wide DRAM for increased bandwidth, allowing about a doubling
of graphics resolution. But, they could afford 2x or 3x the BOM cost of a home machine.
Anyhow, faster hardware like Novix assumed static RAM, e.g. several banks
of the 32x9 cache chips designed to support Intel's level 2 caching scheme.
But, with the cost constraints of a consumer system limiting how much
SRAM you actually could put on the board (answer: probably a single bank,)
you'd still have to choose between ~10 MIPS processing capability at one extreme
(with much of that horsepower going to calculating and moving pixels in the bitmap) and
actually displaying those pixels at workstation-level resolution on a color display.
Personally, working at a game company during that time, our R&D team
did indeed have pencil designs of Novix-based home devices kicking around.
But, given the cost constraints imposed on us by the marketing folks,
we were still looking at rather small amounts of static RAM rather than
big DRAMS, which led us to consider non-graphical interfaces
(think "Teddy Ruxpin-like" toys) rather than gaming machines with graphical
displays of even Amiga quality. And of course as you already pointed out,
none of this survived the crash of the first generation home game market.
p.s. as Phil Koopman pointed out back in the day, a CPU running an interpreter can
actually have _lower_ demand on a shared memory bank than a conventional CPU,
but only if the processor chip has enough onboard memory to hold the interpretive
kernel (or, like the Novix, that's just part of the processor hardware). Sadly, this only
applies to instruction stream, as either kind of processor still needs to read and
write data, consuming comparable amounts of bandwidth.
Or, at least that's going to be true until on-chip D cache gets really big, and smart
cache managers become practical so that entire cache lines can be filled and emptied
more efficiently than simple word accesses could do.

I didn't mean to imply that the Novix wasn't customised to suit the system (talking about
big companies). So, and dram interface is totally possible, and still at significant
performance increase using shared memory and similar graphics system to what they
used, or better system. It is basically a CPU core use, building out from that what fits
The budget. Of course, certain companies where notorious for skimping on new better
design expenses, at crucial times, which choked them. For example, the Commodore 64
was the only significant design improvement, which deserved a followup enhancement in
the next 2 years. Commodore only held off demise, due to buying the Commodore Amiga
Design in, because some other competitor was unwilling to pay the price for it. That other
company only really survived because they started innovating again late in the period, but
Too late fur such a moving field, with Nintendo and Sega moving in as well. I think I also
mentioned misc here. Both designs were suitable to be implemented on Mos technology's
slower fab process. The main benefit being the modest transistor count and 1 cycle
execution compared to an x86, 68000, in the range of 8 bit CPUs, while likely increasing
MHz a bit (from the design process in this what if scenario. If Church Peddle had done the
re-design instead of Chuck More (as much as we appreciate both) would it have been faster
Than a 6502 in MHz, we don't know. Of course, the systems were memory limited, so dual
bank dram (with video priority to the other bank would have allowed significant improvement
In the 8 bit era, bringing more low end functionality before the Amiga era, and as low end
alternatives to the expensive initial Amiga and ST ranges. But enough for some home
machine usage scenarios of the times. The graphics scheme design I identified, indicates
that they could have done better with similar or less transistors in this period. The reduced
transistor counts also allowing for earlier one chip chipset implementation like the Arm did
in the Archimedes series going into phone era, giving increased cost advantages. I have
advocated for a long dip module scheme before, allowing for narrow silicon, and even butted
multiple die like implementation to increase average yields.

Issues to be able to have enough time to do some little thing when well enough. But,
I was interested in doing a proof of concept retro machine using my graphics and misc like
architectures, to prove what could have been fine in those days, and a watch version.
But to start off enhancing a zx81 design to do better colour and vector graphics, with light
changes,and sound. But the likelihood of getting a compatible 6 micron fab process these
days (the exact same performance as the original used in Commodore, Atari or Spectrum/zx81),
is too unlikely. Since the collapse in the zx81 and VCS sectors in recent years, there doesn't
seem to be enough of a market of users. I mean 1 million hobbyists sales is ok, ten thousand
is not enough to warrant the effort. So, I'm looking at an free add on enhancement project,
which I also can't get too due to issues here. But cheaper and simpler, and people can make it
themselves. While I hopefully can get around to a new representative retro design, and real device.
From which more modern fuller devices could follow up. The market I looked at years ago, as the
followup is very viable, just need to kick start it, which the retro design could produce income
towards. Crashing into a market without that user base, and money for IP slows recognition and
adoption allowing competition to move in before you can have enough of a base to ensure future
success. At my age and health, not something willing to put money into starting rather than my time
effort and skill. If step one is successful, that will earn enough to pay for step two, and at some
Time, attract investors. I'm seriously looking going to investors with some other simple tech I'm musing
to design custom processing at home. I'm trying to think out a cheap implementation solution for
that, rather than more complex things that require a lot of money to implement and perfect. If I hadn't
had bad health and brain damage, I might have been able to come up with that 100-1000 times faster.
Now, even when well, I have to think sometimes hoe to open up the mail app on my phone, like today.
Which is rot (not Rise of the Triads :) ). But, at least I thought through a lot of this stuff before it got too
bad, and thousands of designs. Those sorts of things stick on memory a bit better. If anybody knows of
any groups that might like to do this, email me. I'm thinking of going to a certain company if all else fails.

So that's the difference between talkers and doers. That second kind just do their designs,
not caring that much about „anybody interested” in advance.

to pick at. I might rarely say something outside my conversations to a real issue maker. But I,
like many intelligent people, just leave them alone to their own delusions. You can only help certain
people.
Find others in your league instead of stalking innocents. It's not your thread of project or interest, or
comments, so time to finish!

Oh, so you're going to develop „tens of millions of dollars” business by talking here, on c.l.f.?

I thought the joke was pretty good myself. It would not have made sense if I trimmed it. No?

What is so strange about your phobia for my posts, is that anyone can ignore any post they wish. My "lorem ipsum"
post was a very, very small offense and a reasonable joke. It takes a special person to be outraged by it.
I was going to respond to some of your posts previously. But it is nearly impossible to respond to you in a way that does not set you off. No matter how agreeable I try to be at various times, you find something to be insulted by and then start a flame.
Whatever. Enjoy your life.

Presumably you've already tried moderated forums and it didn't go down well.
