A local museum wants me to see if an exhibit can be
put together
pertaining to Computers in Chess.
[snip]
I'd also appreciate any ideas/pointers for
exhibits or places to check
for items of interest.
There is a chess program for the PDP-10 available in the DECUS archives
which is a linear descendant[1] of Richard Greenblatt's MACHACK, the first
chess program to obtain a USCF/FIDE Master rating. Access to appropriate
hardware can be arranged if desired.
[1] The late Richard Gruen translated the MIT version to a Tops-10 variant
which was later moved to TOPS-20. The DECUS library has both versions.
