The Real Micro Men: The Fight for the BBC Contract
The Real Micro Men: The Fight for the BBC Contract
In 2009 the BBC's Micro Men TV play portrayed the legendary battle between Acorn and Sinclair to secure the coveted BBC computer contract in the early 1980's. In this film, Acorn co-founder Chris Curry and former Sinclair MD Nigel Searle share their own memories of one of the more infamous chapters in computer hardware history, of how the contract was awarded to Acorn (leading to the BBC Micro Computer), how New Brain we're squeezed out and how Sir Clive ended up having a fight with Chris Curry in a Cambridge pub! Federico Faggin also appears giving some more insight into the Z80 and 6502 chips.
