[[VEB Mikroelektronik Erfurt|VEB Funkwerk Erfurt's]] first [[Dedicated Chess Computers|dedicated chess computer]] species from 1981, build in low quantities of only about 12 to 20 pieces. The SC 1 was merely a prototype kind of a chess computer, to test the performance of their own [[Z80]] clone, the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U880|U880]] 8-bit processor <ref>[[http://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/komponenten/ic.htm#u880|Integrierte Schaltkreise - Prozessor U880]] from [[http://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/internes/haupt_en.htm|robotrontechnik.de]] (German)</ref> . The program wasn't yet an own development <ref>[[http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Schachcomputer_in_der_DDR#SC1|SC1, Schachcomputer in der DDR from Wikipedia.de]] (German)</ref>, but a program from the "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_of_the_people|Enemy of the people]]", a plain copy of [[Ron Nelson|Ron Nelson's]] program of a [[Chess Challenger]] manufactured by [[Fidelity Electronics]] <ref>[[http://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/software/software.htm|Copyright und illegal genutzte westliche Software]] from [[http://www.robotrontechnik.de/index.htm?/html/internes/haupt_en.htm|robotrontechnik.de]] (German)</ref>. Remarkably, its successor, the [[SC 2]], which was produced in higher quantities and exported to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism|capitalistic]] "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World|First World]]" to merit foreign exchanges, still was a slightly modified Ron Nelson program <ref>[[http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/VEB_Mikroelektronik_Erfurt|VEB Mikroelektronik Erfurt]] from [[http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Hauptseite_En|Schachcomputer.info Wiki]] (German)</ref><ref>[[Karsten Bauermeister]] (**1999**). //Deutsch-Deutsche Geschichte(n)//.
