My first chess computer in 1982, Six levels (with a module the strength was sligtly better but levels reduced to only 4) was very weak (1400 ELO).

It has been a wrong buy. Not stronger than Mini Sensory Chess, weak even making blunders. I should have bought Fidelity Sensory Challenger 9.

I had only bought the Maestro and Analyst 8 Mhz (with nice display) modules. But I had the expensive Spark module from Kate and Dan Spraklen at home for testing purposes.
