Mephisto I

The first Mephisto was made in 1980, he employed 1802- and 1806- processors, only which ones one fraction of the processing capability of the later widespread 6502-CPU achieved. The small black "thing" was still no board computer in the actual sense but the pre-rider of the large era was from Mephisto´s board computers.

Mephisto II

Mephisto II December 81 appeared, he was already built up modular and two different boards were available to this where the first ESB II wood devices had installed the module quickly. The processor rate was also increased in the result. (ESB3000) und (ESB6000)

Mephisto III

The model of predecessor compared to, the keyboard was engaged differently in the case of Mephisto III. The Programmm now has more storage space and it was produced in a more modern technology. The program now works according to a selective strategy.   Der sale price was enclosed approx. 500,- Euro. Er was also built up modularly and two boards were available to this. (ESB3000) und (ESB6000)

MM II (Modul)

Mephisto sent yours of 6502-CPU in 1985 to the second times into running. Mean players will already provide a very heavy opponent, however change in the opening is still nevertheless very modest. The sale price of the MM of II modules was controlled by 300,- approx. Euro. Here also added it an opening module HG 240 separately buy.

Boards:  Bavaria, 1000,-    München, 800,-    Exclusive, 500,-    Modular, 300,-

Mephisto Amsterdam (Modul)

According to 1984 only the second world champion title for Mephisto, for the world champion program, one had to however already catch into the pocket deep, for the modules had to place one approx. in 2000,- for Euro onto the table.

Rebel 5.0 (Modul)

In 1986 emerged one that shimmering personalities of the chess programmers on, Ed Schröder (NL). One could designate his commercial first work as success altogether. In the middle of the nineties, Schroeder make his company. (Schröder BV).

Mephisto Dallas (Modul)

Mephisto continued its victory train too in 1986 and won worldchampionship. Two identical programme versions with one became this time 12 MHz 68000 16 bits and one 68020 32 bits 14 MHz offered. Further let tend & glazier itself that WM paying title expensively. Who the Amsterdam modules already his particular was allowed mention, could the programme version around 220,- approx. Euro rearming. New one increase only must for the 16 bits of modules approx. in 2000,- Euro and for the 32 bits of modules were demanded fabulous one 4000,- Euro.

Mephisto Supermondial

The further development of the Mondial of Frans Morsch was now additional in the program of Hegener & Glaser included.

Mephisto Roma (Module)

Mephisto win aigan WM 87. The price fixing was unchanged at the previous year only the 32 bits of modules were now cheaper. However, Lang could add nothing by programming in this year. One would have been able to save actual themselves reequipping.
