Shiraz Shivji was the primary designer of the Atari ST computer, and one of the engineers behind the Commodore 64.
Atari ST design
When Jack Tramiel took over Atari in 1984 with a number of Commodore engineers, the company was in bad shape. Shiraz Shivji became Atari's Vice President of Research & Development, and led a team of six engineers who designed the Atari 520ST computer. This work was completed in a remarkably short 5 months (July to December 1984). The prototype presentation at the 1985 CES was a great coup for Atari, and the product revived the company.
Shivji had designed the Atari ST as the first member of a family. He later led the design of the Atari TT before leaving Atari for NeXT.
