693.0. "Deep Blue and custom chips" by SNOFS1::JONESCHRIS (Chris Jones) Mon May 12 1997 23:33

I see in the business wire (May 5, 1997), that VLSI acknowledge 
designing and supplying custom chips that integrated into the IBM deep 
blue computer that played Garry Kasparov.  This now takes the IBM machine 
from 'generic off the shelf' IBM system to a system whose sole design and 
construction is one dedicated to beating a dediacted opponent.
