10 to 20 years ago there were a lot of chess programs on mainframes and these were competing in the ACM tournaments. All of a sudden they disappeared, cost and the advances in PCs I'am assuming. However, seems like there must be someone out there programming on a mainframe, I mean they are so superior in speed over the PC's it's laughable. Last I heard Deep Blue no longer existed, and someone was working on Socrates, but you never hear of that anymore either. Also, like to know where all the older programs are now, like Belle, Cray Blitz, Nuchess, BEBE etc. Probably been erased or sitting on a shelf somewhere, just curious if anyone knows.
