Milobarus ¹

Milobarus,
a dedicated chess computer prototype build by Rainer Serfling. It consists of a sensory board and standard PC-hardware with 80486, integrated as LCD laptop similar to the Mephisto Wundermaschine. Milobarus ran a chess program based on Jörg Burwitz' Diogenes. The prototype played the Aegon 1994 and finished with 1½ out of 6 and three draws. The computer's name apparently was devoted to strongman Milo Barus (1906 - 1977), at times innkeeper of Klosterbräu-Stübl in Stadtroda and Meuschkensmühle in Eisenberger Mühltal near Weißenborn, Thuringia, close to Rainer Serfling's home.
