MicroMurks Hardware [1]

MicroMurks,
an 68000 microcomputer port of the former program Murks, developed by five students at the University of Hamburg, Manfred Allers, Dirk Hauschildt, Alexander Reinefeld and Dieter Steinwender, later joined by Jan Roppers. MicroMurks II played the European MCC 1982, the WMCCC 1983 in Budapest [2], and the International Computer Chess Tournament 1984. It ran on a AP-20 68000 card [3] within an Apple II, running Reinefeld's NegaScout search algorithm.
