Turning to Channel F

Today’s detour from the vagaries of Surfing video games (still playing, but had a change of plans) involves a piece of gaming history. This fine piece of wood grain adorned set top goodness is from November 1976, released by Fairchild. This is one of the early ones, as it was renamed the “Channel F” (F is for fun) when Atari launched their Video Computer System a little less than a year later. The key is in this feature:

The Fairchild VES was the first system to use ROM cartridges (earlier consoles had enabled folks to use ‘games’ that were really just sets of jumpers inserted into the main console to change into another of the 100 versions of PONG that most of them played). This is notable, as the Chief Engineer for Fairchild at the time was Gerald Lawson (much more info at this link: https://www.google.com/doodles/gerald-jerry-lawsons-82nd-birthday ).

Fairchild only sold about 350,000 units before they called it quits and sold the IP off. Their main product was microprocessors, so this was a bit of a flyer for them. Given the way things exploded for Atari, they came very close to hitting the big time -- anyhoo, the point is not very many of these out in the wild, and most of them need to be acquired as a ‘parts only’ purchase. I suspect this is because the power supplies for most of these (which is hard wired to the console) go bad, or people have no idea how to hook it up to a modern TV to test it.

The one I bought was in such a state. Overall it looked pretty good for a 47-year old console, but of course no response when I powered it on. Checking the power block was the first thing I suspected, and sure enough, the output voltages of the power supply where no where near where they were supposed to be, Looking at the block itself - it has 2 different AC inlets....!?

The nice folks at the AtariAge forums have a few threads related to the Fairchild and it’s other worldly counterparts. Sure enough - 15VAC 200mA is one input, and the other is 10VAC 1A. Having no idea how to try and Frankenstein this coil back to life, I went in search of adequate AC-AC adapters to be able to get the unit to power on. Reading through the info out on the net, and looking through the schematics, there are rectifiers and capacitors/voltage regulators that step these two inputs down to 12V and 5 V DC. To be able to connect my new power supplies I needed to open it up - so here we go...!

The good news is, everything looked clean. Even the caps looked pretty good, which was surprising as I bet they run a bit hot with all the current being fed into the unit. Look at all that metal shielding! it looks like FCC regs were written with a severe concern over RF interference? Who knows. All I know is that there is the plastic case, and then an entire metal case under the plastic case shrouding all the electronics. Even the power supply is just a simple MOLEX connection through the shielding to another MOLEX inside. Huh. I did manage to locate 2 AC-AC adapters that looked like they would do the trick.

So I wired them up to the unit and powered on - I knew from the Atari Age geniuses that there is a small red power indicating LED on the board (under the cartridge port and also under the shielding over the cartridge port, so I have no idea who it is for) that indicates the 5V power rail is active. I verified this was active:

And was thinking I might be done! Too bad - but close - my video output was the green screen.

Before I went too much further, I wanted to chase down the power issues. I ended up just disconnecting the MOLEX outside the shielding, and just wiring power right to the wires on the board (power readings on the inlet power cord were all over the place, so I suspect there may have been some wire continuity issues there).

Once I got to this point, I just connected the video out and holy cow! we’re in business.

PONG all day and night if we want. Plus a bunch of other games, some of which are terrible but most of which are charming. In a sense, Jerry Lawson taught my sons not to hit on 16 playing black jack. Here’s one of the games (Space War) in action.

One thing that is not great, which was changed for the Channel F II was the sound. For this unit, it comes from the console, and has no volume control. Seeing that most of the videogaming that would have been done on this machine would have been early or late in the day when your parents weren’t using the TV, this one factor may have limited the success. Being able to turn the Atari down low so you could still hear the bleeps and bloops but mom and dad could keep sleeping was key to playing time back in the day.

One other item to note is the distinctive but very forward thinking design on the controllers. The knob on the top does all the work -- button presses are pulling up and pushing down. The stick movement is active in all directions, and you can also rotate right and left. It is not very intuitive, but once you play with it for a while the games feel pretty natural. Thinking about how these compare to the Atari joysticks, they have a lot more potential.

All in all not too much trouble, and a fun little project. Very cool that this old beast is now in working order. In retrospect, Fairchild had the right idea, but Atari took it and ran! One has to imagine that if the Channel F had been able to get space invaders, they would likely have done just as well. As it is, they are a bit of a footnote, but I have the footnote running in my house!

Fun Fact: The dimensions of the Channel F cartridges were set to approximate those of 8-track tapes, which were a thing at the time. They were then colored bright orange/yellow so people wouldn’t mistake Burt Bacharach for a Math Quiz Videocart.

Day 1: Gerald “Jerry” Lawson Occupation: Engineer Accolades: Inventor of the FIRST cartridge based video game console AKA the home console He paved the way for Nintendo with their NES, SNES, N64 and Gameboy cartridges. His system, Channel F (The Fairchild Video Entertainment System) even pre-date the Atari 5200! He’s the reason we were blowing inside of our cartridges to make our video games work. His console may not have blown up like the others, but he was the catalyst for change in the video game industry. #blackhistory365 #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #cartoons #videogames #anime #contentcreator #contentcreation #content #editing #skits #pictures #thumbnails #memes #blackcontentcreators #digitalcontent #streaming #gaming #podcasting #livestreaming #kthacreator #explore #explorepage https://www.instagram.com/p/CoH1y_OuJIc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jerry Lawson, a self-taught engineer, gave us video game cartridges

If you've got fond memories of blowing into video game cartridges, you've got Gerald "Jerry" Lawson to thank. As the head of engineering and marketing for Fairchild Semiconductor's gaming outfit in the mid-'70s, Lawson developed the first home gaming console that utilized interchangeable cartridges, the Fairchild Channel F. That system never saw the heights of popularity of consoles from Atari, Nintendo and Sega, but it was a significant step forward for the entire gaming industry. Prior to the Channel F, games like Pong were built directly into their hardware -- there was no swapping them out to play something else -- and few believed that you could even give a console a microprocessor of its own. Lawson, who passed away at 70 from diabetes complications in 2011, was the first major African-American figure in the game industry. And, just like the tech world today, it still isn't as diverse as it should be.

Only 2 percent of game developers in 2005 were African-American, according to a study by the International Game Developer Association (who also honored Lawson as a game pioneer a month before his death). But things were even worse during Lawson's time: For his first five years at Fairchild, the company and its executives actually thought he was Indian. He was also one of two black members of the Homebrew Computing Club, a group that famously included Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and other Silicon Valley pioneers.

Born on December 1, 1940, Lawson grew up in a Queens, New York, housing project, where his predilection for engineering was on display early on. His father, a longshoreman with a fondness for science, gave him unique gifts like an Irish mail, a handcar typically used by railroad workers. More often than not, Lawson ended up being the only kid that knew how to use them. His mother arranged it so that he could attend a well-regarded elementary school in another part of the city (i.e., one that was predominantly white), and she stayed actively involved in his education throughout his childhood (so much so that she became the president of the PTA). Lawson also credits his first grade teacher as a major inspiration.

"I had a picture of George Washington Carver [a black inventor who was born into slavery] on the wall next to my desk," he told Vintage Computing in an interview. "And she said, 'This could be you.' I mean, I can still remember that picture, still remember where it was."

It's hard to deny Lawson's geek cred: He ran an amateur radio station out of his housing project after building a ham radio on his own (complete with an antenna hanging out of his window and a radio license). He also spent his teenage years repairing electronics all over the city. Most impressively, he taught himself most of what he knew about engineering. Lawson attended Queens College and the City College of New York before working at several firms, including Grumman Electric and Federal Aircraft. After scoring a job with Kaiser Electronics, which focused on military technology, Lawson moved to Silicon Valley.

It's hard to fathom today, but trying to make removable game cartridges was an incredibly new concept in the '70s. Lawson and his team at Fairchild had no clue how the cartridges would fare after being plugged in and out multiple times -- remember, nobody had ever done it before. The company also caught the attention of the FCC, as it was aiming to deliver the first consumer device with its own microprocessor. Lawson's description of meeting the agency's grueling requirements reads like engineering comedy: Fairchild had to encase the console's motherboard in aluminum; it put a metal chute over the cartridge adapter to keep in radiation; and every cartridge it produced had to be approved by the FCC. He was also justifiably apoplectic when, years later, Texas Instruments successfully lobbied to change the laws that determined the FCC's harsh requirements.

As for how race affected his job prospects during the '60s and '70s, Lawson told Vintage Computing it "could be both a plus and a minus." If he did well, it seemed as if he did twice as well, since any accomplishment received instant notoriety. But the idea of a 6-foot-6-inch black man working as an engineer was still surprising to many people. Lawson noted that some people reacted with "total shock" when they saw him for the first time.

Lawson also had plenty of insightful advice for young black men and women who were interested in science and engineering careers:

First of all, get them to consider it [technical careers] in the first place. That's key. Even considering the thing. They need to understand that they're in a land by themselves. Don't look for your buddies to be helpful, because they won't be. You've gotta step away from the crowd and go do your own thing. You find a ground; cover it; it's brand-new; you're on your own -- you're an explorer. That's about what it's going to be like. Explore new vistas, new avenues, new ways -- not relying on everyone else's way to tell you which way to go, and how to go, and what you should be doing."

The whole reason I did games was because people said, 'You can't do it,'" Lawson told the San Jose Mercury News in an interview. "I'm one of the guys, if you tell me I can't do something, I'll turn around and do it."

If you haven’t been to google.com yet, they are honoring American engineer Gerald “Jerry” Anderson Lawson’s 82nd birthday with games you can play but also create giving you options to make platforms, enemies, rewards etc, so you can have a taste of what it’s like to build video games like Jerry Lawson did.

[bigbrotherw]

A little Black History lesson before Black History Month ends. If anything, seeing this is a very crucial moment in gaming, and in history, where knowledge is often suppressed by those who wish to control the narrative.

Now, Jerry Lawson will have his due and his contributions be known.
