- Ben Cheese (1955 – 21 January 2001) was a British engineer who worked on Sinclair's ZX Microdrives. Authors Ian Adamson and Richard Kennedy, in their book Sinclair and the "Sunrise" Technology, write that "it seems only fair to note that it was the tenacity and imagination of R&D staffer Ben Cheese that got the product [i.e., the Microdrive] to the market". When Sinclair was sold, Cheese formed a company called Flare Technology with two other former Sinclair engineers, John Mathieson and Martin Brennan. Brennan and Mathieson went on to form Flare II, and to develop the Atari Jaguar console. Meanwhile, Cheese worked with Argonaut Software and Nintendo to develop the Super FX chip used in Super Nintendo Entertainment System games such as Star Fox. Besides his engineering work, Ben Cheese also drew some mildly subversive cartoons for the Sinclair in-house newsletter called WHAM!, or What's Happening At Milton. Ben Cheese died from cancer at age 46. (en)
- Ben Cheese (1955—21 de janeiro de 2001) foi um engenheiro britânico, responsável por colocar em operação o ZX Microdrive da Sinclair. Escritores como Ian Adamson e Richard Kennedy, em seu livro Sinclair and the "Sunrise" Technology, declararam que "parece bastante justo observar que foi a tenacidade e imaginação do chefe de P&D, Ben Cheese, que pôs o produto [isto é, o Microdrive] no mercado". Quando a Sinclair foi vendida, Cheese constituiu uma empresa denominada Flare Technology em parceria com dois outros ex-engenheiros da Sinclair, John Mathieson e Martin Brennan. Além de seu trabalho como engenheiro, Ben Cheese também produziu alguns cartuns levemente subversivos para a newsletter interna da Sinclair ("WHAM!" ou "What's Happening At Milton"). (pt)
