Unfortunately I won't have any time until christmas, since I'm going to Nice, France this week. My guess is that a generic driver for the Chess232 board should be really simple, since the code exists how to read the board. (Right?) The question is if Tascboard has any released files on how to do programs that reads the board? What made it, relativly easy to do the DGT-driver were 1) DGT supplied us with include files, that shows how you can access the board. 2) I own a board myself and can test the code I write.
