But January 1985 should also be known for having a much more interesting BYTE than I would have imagined for 1985. For non-computer articles you MUST read "The future of television" all sorts of good predictions though they called it 5.33x3 instead of 16:9.. There is also a very good interview with Steve Wozniak about the history of Apple and a talk of a spreadsheet he helped develop but in the end was not allowed to distribute... And if you like talking about power supplies well welcome to this goldmine.

ThumpNugget Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 So.. Added three new mags to the main list at the top of the thread (magazines in hand waiting to scan): May 1982, Oct 1982, and May 1985. I'm very happy with the first two as they have Articles on the Atari 8-bit. I've got three 1982 magazines scanned with Atari articles that should be coming in the next few weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThumpNugget Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) BYTE Vol 07-10 1982-10 Computers in Business - 532 Pages 348,897,450 bytes This particular magazine has had some tough love in its journey to be scanned. Torn corner, price tags, many torn and folded paged, mud splatter, etc. I almost did not scan it but after some work only the cover really bears bad scars... So my apologies for the cover.. Hopefully some day another cover can replace it. This issue of BYTE is all about computer in business. I was very disappointed after scanning the issue to realize there was not one of the Atari series of articles that appeared in 1982.. This appears to be just after the series ended. The news has some interesting tidbits.. a new magazine "Atari Antics" will soon be out, a few paragraphs about Telelink II, and a couple you will need to find yourself. For non-Atari stuff I think my favorite article was about the current and future state of industrial robotics.. And hey! Two type in games, pretty rare for BYTE. Another must read on protecting object code from prying eyes.

Keatah Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) In fact, I feel you need to turn down the brightness in the entire scan just a little. Perhaps a 5% reduction? Some fine details are getting blown out. What do you think? But hey man, this is all appreciated stuff! Make no mistake about it!

iramency Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 This is curious vintage question, but does anyone know if it's true that Woz Wozniak's (founder of Apple w Steve Jobs) version of Atari Breakthough was not used due to issues? I always wondered if his version did make it to market. I can't find any confirms or deny but I know the Issacson's book on Steve Jobs did indicate that he was paid for the job .....

RobS Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 This is curious vintage question, but does anyone know if it's true that Woz Wozniak's (founder of Apple w Steve Jobs) version of Atari Breakthough was not used due to issues? I always wondered if his version did make it to market. I can't find any confirms or deny but I know the Issacson's book on Steve Jobs did indicate that he was paid for the job ..... Yes this is true. It has been stated in a few books about the history of video games. I just so happen to be reading one of them now (Replay: The History of Video Games) and it says that basically, Woz's design was too complex (they didnt understand how he did it) and so they couldnt figure out how to actually manufacture it his way. Remember, this was before the microprocessor, so these were TTL type games where all functions were hard-coded and done directly in circuitry. Woz was a rare genius, and few ever understood how he did what he did. So what happened was, Atari was faced with a bit of a time crunch in getting the game out, and since they couldnt figure out Woz's method, they reverted back to a more traditional approach (and added a few features as well). It cost them more per machine, but it was a huge seller so it didn't matter in the end. Breakout was also the last TTL based video game from Atari, from then forward they would do everything with microprocessors. Jobs was paid something like $5000 for the job (because he got a bonus for every chip saved - and Woz reduced the chip count by something like a factor of 4 or 5) but he told Woz it paid $700 - which he split with Woz. Woz found out about this years later after reading about it in a book (probably Zap!) I'm sure he was pissed at Jobs, but then again, by the time he found out, he had established himself as the preeminent founder of Apple technology, so I'm sure he forgave quickly. He's just that kind of guy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTonah Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Wayne Green died last Friday. For those who don't know, he was the founder of BYTE Magazine (among others, like inCider, 80 Micro, and many more). I think that his contributions to computing should not be viewed lightly. For some of us who were living in remote areas in the 1970's and 1980's, these magazines were often our only links to the computing community. I personally learned heaps from his publications alone.

I have a closet full of Byte magazines that you are welcome to. I live in Portland, OR and would be willing to ship any of them to you (no charge to you of course). Let me know if there are any specific issues you are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I used to have a ton of old computer magazines, tens or hundreds of BYTE issues too. But at the time I was getting out of computers and into model rockets. We needed pulp for making paper engine casings, so I used my magazines.
