From 1968 to 1970, Holt developed his first microprocessor chip set for Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer for the F-14 Tomcat. His story of this design and development is presented in a podcast.[1]

He was co-founder with Manny Lemas of Microcomputer Associates, Incorporated,[2] later known as Synertek Systems where he designed the Jolt[2] Super Jolt and SYM-1 microcomputer cards as well as the first microcomputer pinball game, Lucky Dice, using the Intel 4004. One of Mr Holt's computer boards, the SYM-1, was used in the first two military robots, Robart I [3] and Robart II.[4]
