Happy Computers
Happy Computers (HCI) was a small company producing disk drive enhancements for the Atari 8-bit and Atari ST computer families. Happy Computers is most noted for the add-in boards for the Atari 810 and Atari 1050 disk drives, which achieved a tremendous speed improvement for reading and writing, and for the ability to "back up" floppies. Happy's products were among the most popular Atari computer add-ons. They are still in use and active in the aftermarket today.〔(faqs.org ), "Atari 8-Bit Computers: Frequently Asked Questions", Reytrieved 10-23-2009〕〔(faqs.org ), "What are the Atari 810, 815, 1050, and XF551 Disk Drives?", Retrieved 10-23-2008〕
==History==
Happy Computers was formed in 1982 by Richard Adams under the name Happy Computing. At that time, the 810 Happy was hand wired on the internal side board. The name was changed to Happy Computers or HCI in 1983 when the company went from a sole proprietorship to a corporation.
HCI stopped shipping these products in 1990, and since then many other Atari enthusiasts have reverse engineered and replicated the products because they were so popular and fun.
By 1986 software companies began producing fewer titles for the Atari than for the Apple II series or Commodore 64. They attributed this to their belief that an unusually high amount of software piracy existed on the Atari, and cited Happy Drive as a major cause of the piracy.
