Interdata M85,
a 16-bit minicomputer by Interdata Inc., Oceanport, New Jersey, acquired in 1973 by PerkinElmer, and their German subsidiary Interdata GmbH, Munich [1]. Like the Model 80, the M85 was programmable with microcode, and had 32 16-bit registers. Alexander Reinefeld (micro) programmed the Interdata M85, to design and develop the Murks chess program, and to research on search algorithms, such as NegaScout.
