Bonus quote from Peter Jennings of
Microchess fame:
Quote:
I was never really sure what a microprocessor was capable of, but having access to a Sigma-9 I wrote a
simulator for an 8080 and a simulator for a 6502 and I started to write some little chess move things in
these simulators and decided 6502 was probably a much more fun processor to work with. And since the
KIM-1 was cheap I went down to Cleveland for the computer show and came back with my KIM-1.
(It was our third anniversary of these weekly posts, so we also did a bonus issue
here with a link back to the forums here.)
