Surface Ink and Atari VCS Design Details

[justclaws]

I think everybody loves the VCS case design; only a RAM trapdoor is a sad omission.
The design of the system hardware, case, PCB, peripherpals, is very interesting to me.

Previously, I posted an article about Surface Ink who were contracted to Atari to work
with Atari and AMD on the hardware design of the VCS. They now added a new video.

This is the original article; I can't find the old post to this.

There was also during the campaign additional detall about the Surface Ink work too.
They had a good partnership clearly.

The video would not post in the first message of this thread for some weird reason.

This is a very interesting video chat between all the members of their VCS design team.
I hope that Atari can persuade the AMD team who worked with them to do a similar one!
