Description
Father of the Amiga computer, Miner left a major mark on the history of home computing.
He started in the electronics industry with a number of designs in the medical world, including a remote-control pacemaker.
He moved to Atari in the late 1970s. One of his first successes was to combine an entire breadboard of components into a single chip, known as the TIA. The TIA was the display hardware for the Atari 2600, which would go on to sell millions. After working on the TIA, Miner headed up the design of the follow-on chip set that would go on to be the basis of the Atari 8-bit family of home computers, known as ANTIC and CTIA.
