Leibson's Law: It takes 10 years for any disruptive technology to become pervasive in the design community. This blog is about the disruptive technologies that either have or will win over electronic engineers, some that won't, and why. Written by Steve Leibson, Tensilica's Technology Evangelist.

HP 9825A: History Time

After a year of near inactivity, I got the chance to update my history site, www.HP9825.com, with information about and stories of the development of interface cards for the Hewlett-Packard 9825A desktop computer, manufactured in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I finally got the time to transcribe a video interview that I recorded late last year and was recently able to contact three more people that I’ve not spoken to for 30 years! All had valuable information, stories to add, and puzzle pieces I didn’t have in my puzzle box. You will find the new information here:
http://www.hp9825.com/html/interfaces.html
It was important for me to get back to work on this site. The principals are all in their 50s or older and they are starting to pass on. We lost another one just last week.
Which brings me to an important point. If you were associated with a historic set of industry developments, you’d be doing the world and yourself a favor to collect and publish information on that event, even if it’s already documented. Your perspective will be different and valuable. In addition, you’ll be reconnecting with friends and colleagues you haven’t spoken to for a while. They’ll be very glad to hear from you and you will be happy you contacted them. Please don’t hesitate. Time waits for no one.
