i have a radioshack 2250 and i dont know who programed it , but what i can tell
you is i also owned the mach IV master 68020 20 mhz 512kb hash and a match was
played between them at 3 min a move .they played 10 games with radio shack
winning  7-3 .i then sold the mach IV .the 2250 only sees about 500 nps so the
mhz cant be much , strong program i think .if it were run at 60,000 nps it would
be as strong as some of the best software .
