Dado Banatao's 16-Bit Microchip
How much data can your device store? Did you know that a Filipino created the first calculator using a single chip and a 16-bit microprocessor? Yes of course, Dado Banatao , a high-tech industry engineer better known by his stage name Diosdado Banatao , created the first 10-Mbit Ethernet CMOS chip with silicon coupler data-link control and transceiver. He is credited for developing the first system logic chip set for IBM's PC-XT and PC-AT in addition to the local bus concept and the first Windows Graphics accelerator chip for personal computers. The first single-chip graphical user interface accelerator was created by Diosdado Banatao and significantly sped up computer operation. Because of this development, computer users can now issue commands using images rather than the traditional textual commands found on older systems. It has made it possible to process data a little more quickly while utilizing very little space (small chips instead of large boards). Wh
