Transmeta - the Days to Crusoe

Saw
this at Arstechnica :
"Considering the technical achievement, not much time passed
between Ditzel quitting his job at Sun Microsystems (1995) and
Transmeta's announcement
of its Crusoe chip (early 2000). Hannibal gave us the lowdown
on the technical details of Crusoe soon after its introduction,
but for those interested in the trials and tribulations that Transmeta
had to endure to get to this point, check out this
current IEEE Spectrum feature. It not only discusses some of the
quaint details of starting the company in Ditzel's living room,
and the mundane problems of getting venture capital, but the article
gives some social insights on Transmeta the company and what it
was like to work there during its hush-hush period."
