The New York Times: Chuck Peddle Dies at 82; His $25 Chip Helped Start the PC Age

[Steven Schear]

In the early-1970s, while working for TRW Data Systems (founded by Larry
and Doug Michaels, who later founded the early commercial Unix provider
Santa Cruz Operations) I led development of a proprietary OS for the
Datapoint 2200.

The OS ran on a descrete implementation of the 8008 processor after Intel
had encountered tech and yield issues. The OS supported drivers for
keyboard, CRT, disk and tape drives, telecommunications controlling dozens
of specialized remote terminals, and a hashed access database, With dynamic
overlays it all fit within 16 KB of RAM.
