Gregg Squires, Atari Manager of Hardware Engineering
Gregg Squires was a Manager of Hardware Engineering at Atari from 1982 through 1984, working from their New York office. He was project manager for Val, a cost-reduced version of the Atari 2600; and project manager for the Atari XL computer series. He was co-designer of the 65816 microprocessor architecture.
Greg sent me a scan of an Atari 600XL Product Status Meeting handout dated January 1983. It’s an impressive 45 pages and paints a clear picture of the timeline, costs, and issues involved with creating that computer.
This interview took place on February 13, 2019.
