About the seminar

As a Development Manger with a great deal of support from upper management and with a very willing team we were able to quickly develop a machine that sold almost 3,000 units; all over the world. The talk covers in brief how the project came about and a description of the hardware itself using technology only just then becoming available.

Also the use of microcode, not just for order-code, but also to control peripherals at a detailed level. Manufacturing will be touched upon as will a development manager’s a view of sales and marketing.

It is hoped that a panel of experts directly involved in the 2903 programme can be formed after the talk.
