The massively bestselling account of a titanic struggle to dominate a machine...

The making of the 32-bit mini-computer Eagle was a colossus of an enterprise, demanding the waking hours and sleeping thoughts of a brilliant and aggressive team of young computer wizards who worked for the multi-million-dollar American company Data General. They were given one year: day-by-day, wire-by-wire, the 'microkids' traced and retraced Eagle's labyrinthine arteries, fought back at its tantrums and wooed its obedience. It forced them to the limits of their endurance.
