Masatoshi Shima
Masatoshi Shima was the
engineer responsible for the Busicom calculator design. He came
from Japan a few days after Faggin joined Intel, to check the logic design of
the chip set. He was dismayed and very angry to see that Hoff's proposal had not
progressed from his last visit, six months before, against Intel's promises. He
stayed on and helped Faggin with the detailed logic design to partially recover the
delay in the schedule agreed upon six months before. Besides Shima, the other
members of the 4000 family design team were one electronic technician, and three
draftsmen, of which only one knew how to layout silicon gate devices.
