 Many years ago I had the opportunity of borrowing a Mephisto Lyon 68020 from
 a close friend of mine. He bought it used - about 10 months old - for something
 like $600. Remember I played a multitude of blitz games vs the Lyon - and had
 great fun. It was not so strong chesswise - but worked like a charm. This item
 was heavily used by my friend also - and since he used to smoke, the white
 squares slowly turned yellowish...Sorry to say - all my games got lost when
 I changed location. It would have been some fun looking at them again after all
 these years.

 Not Strong Enough regards.
