	Fairchild Channel F
		The Channel F was to be designed around Fairchild's own F8 microprocessor (which was actually a CPU and several support processors that all together are called the "F8").
		Fairchild responded in kind by changing the name of their console to the Fairchild Channel F. However, the blocky graphics were starting to show their age already (if you can believe that) when compared against the 2600's higher resolution blocky graphics.
		By 1978, Fairchild had only released 21 cartridges for the Channel F, and the consoled that had changed home gaming consoles for ever was dead after only a year and 4 months on the market.

	Fairchild Channel F -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The biggest effect of the Channel F in the market was to spur (additional info and facts about Atari) Atari into releasing their next-generation console that was then in design.
		Currently named "Stella" the machine was also going to use cartridges, and after seeing the Channel F they realized they needed to get it out as soon as possible before the market was flooded with cartridge based machines.
		The major changes were in design, the controllers were removable from the base unit instead of being wired directly into it, the storage compartment was moved to the rear of the unit, and the sound was now mixed into the TV signal so the unit no longer needed a speaker.

	Fairchild Channel F - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Channel F was based on the Fairchild F8 CPU, invented by Robert Noyce before he left Fairchild to start his own company, Intel.
		The F8 was so early that the process technology of the era couldn't fit all the needed circuitry onto a single chip, and the F8 was in fact a "family" of chips that had to be wired together to form a complete CPU.
		The biggest effect of the Channel F in the market was to spur Atari into releasing their next-generation console that was then in design.

		However, by 1979, a company by the name of Zircon bought all the rights to the Channel F. What they had planned to do with them was not clear until several years later when they released Fairchild's scaled-down model as the $99 Channel F System II.
		Maybe having Channel F boxes in your home could be "retro chic" someday, but probably not.
		Few Channel F ROMs are available as of yet; you can find those that are in the Channel F section of the Game Vault.

		The Channel F was the first programmable video game system, having plug-in cartridges containing ROM and microprocessor code rather than dedicated circuits.
		The Channel F controllers which were attached to the unit with dedicated wires, were gripped by the whole hand and enabled movement in all directions, including the twisting left and right for `paddle' movement.
		The Channel F console's popularity lowered when the Atari released their VCS in 1977 as the VCS had much better graphics, games and sound.
