Mephisto Mondial, a dedicated chess computer released in 1985 by Hegener & Glaser, running a program for a 6502 processor by Frans Morsch - his commercial debut. Mondial was based on Nona, which won the amateur tournament at the WMCCC 1985 in Amsterdam, and short later the DOCCC 1985. Nona was ported to Ed Schröder's faster interface code for the Mephisto hardware, and Ed acknowledged Frans did a better job than he did at that times. According to Jan Louwman, Mondial had a selective layer of three plies performing a kind of Shannon Type B Strategy.
