Sony offered for GVG. They asked me to leave and they brought in their own person to manage the company.
Dan Wright left GVG.
As he did a young engineer, who helped changed the desktop video landscape, was offered a new challenge.
Michael Johas Teener was a system architect at National Semiconductor after graduating Caltech in Engineering, where he:
Learned how to learn, and that it's OK to be a "C" student when you are surrounded by *really* smart people.
National was assessing ways to approach internal bus architectures.The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), of which National was a member, wanted to merge the existing but incompatible options, VME, NuBus 2, and Futurebus.
Teener was appointed chair of a project to unify the industry around a single serial bus architecture.
"Serial" meaning that they transfer one bit at a time, rather than multiple bits simultaneously—parallel is faster, given the same signal frequency, but it comes with a higher overhead and has efficiency problems as you scale up the signal frequencies.
Around the same time engineer David James, at another IEEE member company Hewlett-Packard, was interested in a new approach. He told Tenner:
… we want it to go off the bus to connect to low-speed or modest-speed peripherals,' like floppy disks and keyboards and mice and all kinds of other stuff like that.
Teener left National for Apple as the Macintosh maker was looking for a successor to the Apple Desktop Bus, ADB.
It wanted the next version to be able to carry audio signals.
Teener knew what was needed.
