"It's not too late to get to know me now, is it just about putting on a show?"
"If you can get me a driver's license, that's fine too. How much will it cost?" Xing Baohua asked.
“No problem, 15 for the license plate, 50 for the driver’s license,” Xu Kang said.
"A motorcycle driver's license?"
"What do you think? Cars aren't priced like this," Xu Kang replied.
"How much does the car cost?" Xing Baohua asked again.
"We need a letter of introduction from your company's vehicle fleet."
"No."
"No, you'll have to pay extra."
Xing Baohua said impatiently, "Just tell me directly, how much money will it cost to get it done for me?"
"Big truck or small truck?" Xu Kang asked again.
"I want both sizes. And this motorcycle too."
"Large truck 100, small car 80, motorcycle 50, plus 15 for the license plate, totaling 245. You give me 240." Xu Kang did a quick calculation and gave Xing Baohua the number.
"I didn't pay money, and they're going to give me a fake one!" Xing Baohua said worriedly. He had personally witnessed Liu Haibo and the others being scammed!
"You didn't even bother to find out what I do, and you don't even know who introduced you? Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is in charge of official documents. Do you understand what I mean?" Xu Kang's words were tinged with dissatisfaction at Xing Baohua's questioning.
"Okay, how long will it take to complete?"
"Are you in a hurry? If you are, I'll pay an extra 20, and you can get it before the end of the workday. If you're not in a hurry, come and pick up the book and badge in 7 days."
"I'll still get it today." Xing Baohua didn't know if he'd have time in seven days. Since he could spend some money for a speed mode, he might as well spend it.
"Go over there to take photos, and say it's Xu Kang's expedited service. After the photos are taken, just wait, or come pick them up before the end of the day." After saying that, he held out his hand, indicating that Xing Baohua should pay.
After paying, Xing Baohua went back to the repair shop to check on the condition of the motherboards. If they could be assembled into a working motherboard, they might still be usable.
Upon arriving at the repair shop, I saw Niu Jishan studying the board.
Xing Baohua walked over, took it, and checked the model number on the board: Atari 800.
In Xing Baohua's memory, Atari produced game consoles, but he really didn't know if they had ever produced computers.
First, let's look at the chip model. We found the printed text: MOS 6052.
Since Section Chief Shen started supplying the chips, Xing Baohua has had no shortage of this model.
It was inexpensive and had decent performance; most computers in the mid-1970s used this type of chip.
Includes fruit l and fruit ll.
After studying the Atari board for a while, Xing Baohua finally figured it out: it was a multi-functional game console board! The ancestor of the Subor (a popular Chinese game console).
It accepts cartridges. It can be used as a game console, an office computer, or even a printer by directly installing ink cartridges.
If you're going to use this as a computer, it'll be a bit more complicated. You'll need to add a lot of extra devices, like a floppy drive, a cassette recorder, a reader/writer, and so on.
If you want to use programming software, you'll need a ROM cartridge. Of course, many other software programs also support ROM cartridges.
Xing Baohua silently mourned for Liu Haibo. He spent a lot of money to buy a Little Tyrant (a popular Chinese web novel character).
As Deng Xiaoping once said, "We should start teaching children about computers from a young age. We should also start doing business from a young age."
Hehe, reverse engineering. I don't believe this thing is that complicated. I'll write a few small games, and make a small compiler program to practice my C language.
Okay. Little Tyrant won't be involved anymore. If someone tries to follow another's path, just build a wall to block it. Whoever comes after Xing Baohua is a copycat; his specialty is imitation.
Promote it in first- and second-tier cities, so that anyone with a TV at home can connect. Keep the price around two to three hundred yuan. Families with better financial means can probably grit their teeth and buy a learning machine for their children.
Should we notify reporters to do a special report on contributing to the future of our motherland?
Perhaps we should add two controllers?
Forget it, let's not follow the Little Tyrant's example. They meant well at first, but adding two controllers made the kids lose interest in programming and practicing Wubi input method.
As for the quality of the board, or whether it could even be powered on, Xing Baohua wasn't too concerned. His immediate goal was to reverse engineer the board.
Around 5 p.m., Xing Baohua rode his tuk-tuk to the vehicle management office to pick up his license.
When Xing Baohua arrived, Xu Kang was standing at the entrance of the vehicle management office waiting for him.
"You've come at the perfect time. If you had come any later, I would have left. Here, take this book and this plaque. Go back and hang them up yourself."
Xing Baohua first took the green license plate and glanced at the numbers on it. Mountain.
"Was this sign made to order or was it already made a long time ago? Can't we choose the numbers?" Xing Baohua asked.
"Didn't you need it urgently? I'll just give you a set, it's already on the file. It can't be changed, just use it for now. Well, I'll be going now if there's nothing else. Oh! If you need anything like this again, just come to me. I'll give you the license plate and bicycle certificate for free."
With that, Xu Kang waved his hand and turned to leave.
These days, driver's licenses are red. If you open one and take a look, you'll see a steel stamp on the photo, and the other half has three spaces marked with red stamps: large truck, small car, and two-wheeled motorcycle.
This is what happens when you spend a little over 300 yuan to get a B1 license!
