Eelco, Thanks so much for this wonderful information. I hadn't seen any of this before. This is a very early time for somebody to be testing dedicated chess computers to this extent. I wish that there was a single source where all of these sorts of references were available for study. This all happened prior to my even becoming aware that there was such a thing as a dedicated chess computer. My first encounter with one was when I bought a Fidelity Sensory Chess 9 (SC9) in 1982. I love this stuff! Dick Schneiders
