Peter,
I have the M-Vancouver 68000-12 MHz - Munchen board.
Same as you I just love it! The Vancouver was not an
improvement in strenght compared to the LYON model.
But it does have more improvements regarding
"Book depth, variatry etc.and many more.
I had the chance once to buy the Lyon but decided to
buy the Vancouver. Although it was not an improvement in
strength it certainly had many more features.
I think,but am not completly sure that the your
68020 (12MHz) was 60 elo above the 68000 (12MHz) MV
It is just a great pleasure to sit and play against this
wooden chess component (set-program-what ever)
I just love chess.............Alain
