I don't think there is any reasonable hardware ( instead of broken one I assume)
where this doesn't hold :) - maybe Pocket PCs or Palms ??

With an even bigger silent tear I had to take out Phalanx - this used to be one
of my *very* favourite engines for a long time - talking about decent chess it
certainly qualifies .. - but it can't really compete anymore :(

Unfortunately playing GNU just adds noise to data these days.
