Steve,
I remember the "Elite Premier" when it came onto the
market.
Larry Kaufman I believe wrote a report on it in
Computer Chess Reports many years ago.
(I may still have that report -I probably do have it)
Yes you're right it is a great machine.But much toooo
expensive for me at that time.
What I did not like about it was the black metal housing
of the info screen sticking up out of a really nice
wooden board.
