About the MD41 Main Icons
»41« »41« »41« »41« »41« »41« »41« »41« »41«
The MD41 main icons (and the associated small icons) were prepared by
Leigh Murray, based on a detailed picture of a PCB board by Graeme Whittle,
published in MegaDisc 5.
To quote from the original description of the picture: `a great example of
"technical" graphics - it illustrates the Printed Circuit Board of
Expansion Systems X1000 512K ram/SCSI interface/clock unit for the A1000 -
this is the board which, with its DMA (Direct Memory Access), has allowed a
video/presentation group in Sydney to actually pull 3 high-resolution
images per second off a hard disk and display them!! The board itself is a
6-layer PCB, which implies the highest standards of design.'
Things have changed a bit since those days, with all the super-fast 24-bit
video boards, but the picture remains an excellent example of technical
drawing. Some detail was lost in conversion to icons, of course (with
fewer colours and reduced size).
