Since the clock rate of these machines is known (and higher than the average
user's computer when CM8000 was released), the selectivity setting could be
raised a bit, making The King stronger than the default CM8000 setting SSDF has
tested.

OTOH, experience has proven that such conversions are usually poorly done in
terms of maintaining the engines strength (they have on PCs). But such versions
aren't for the computer chess strength freak anyway. It will suit it's purpose
with 100 or 200 Elo less, too.
