The Spracklens did a pretty good job with their dedicated machine, the Par
Excellence, not with Sargon which was only a software program running on a chip
similar to the 6502, the 6510 (Commodore) if I remember correctly (yes, it also
ran on Apple computers that used the 6502...). The Par Excellence was a pretty
good machine running on the 6502 chip, and so were Ed's MM IV and MM V and Dave
Kittinger's Novag machines such as the Super Forte B and C... and the first
Frans Morsch's programs in machines such as the Dominator...

Those were the days.
