Interdata M85, a 16-bit minicomputer by Interdata Inc., Oceanport, New Jersey, acquired in 1973 by PerkinElmer, and their German subsidiary Interdata GmbH, Munich. 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.
