Yes, he was a regular employee. He most likely did that but it was a common
thing among some of the actual engineers at the time, most notably the
engineer he was assigned to for a lot of the late night shifts - Harold
Lee. Though in Harold's case, it was because he actually quit Atari and
came back as a consultant to do the Home PONG chip.
