In 1978, an exact copy of the ROM appeared in the Novag Chess Champion MK I and Sugarman's JS&A computer, the ROM produced by the same manufacturer //General Instruments Corporation//, who informed Data Cash Systems on that incident in June 1978. Since Data Cash Systems didn't adequately protect their copyright, they lost their court case vs. JS&A Group , and then their appeal. || toc =Quotes= by David Levy and Monroe Newborn
