RickR Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) How amazing, yet depressing! The company behind the CPU (6502) inside almost every Atari console we love was MOS Technology in Norristown, PA. Here's a video of the old building (long abandoned) with Bill Herd! It's amazing to me how when a business dies, most times the building just sits vacant forever. The only thing that really lives on is the memories.

We know that Jack Tramiel loved to squeeze and leverage the businesses he worked with and purchased. MOS Tech deserved better.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Sort of sad to see some Commodore stuff still in there. I had a PET and the school I went to in first grade their first computers were all PETs and one CBM just like those in the video. That building has a lost of history.
