I guess no "PC VIC-emulator" could help me to run my Sargon II, because
it's on cartridge! (which needs muscles of Samson to be placed to it's hole
in VIC's backside. :-)

I hope to find somewhere working TV-modulator for my VIC. All the other
parts are still working, but it's too much "blindfold", if the screen
doesn't show you even the coordinates of computer's moves. :-)

If I get a modulator I could challenge the program with my Nero or
perhaps with other opponents too by corresponding the moves.

Only problem I remember: When I did board setups with Sargon II, it
didn't allow double pawn moves like e2-e4... And I'd like to switch VIC
off while waiting for opponents moves.

In junior high school we played with a friend a game Sargon II v. Sargon II
with two VICs (level 6). Black's second move 2...Nc6 took about one hour and
later the game slowed down even more... I don't remember if we had enough
patience to ever finish the game. :-)
