Microchess for VT100
I (Hans Otten) have added a VT100 compatible display routine to the original. A lot easier to use, the same program underneath.
Two versions, one for a KIM-1 with RAM above 0400, one for a KIM-1 or clone with RAM above $2000.
Papertape binaries and full source available, with corrected source and comments.
Microchess has been adapted for the Elektor Junior by Sjaak de Wit, sjelabs.nl.
