Chuck,

This points to your starting to get the "bug", alright.  I, too, have a Mephisto
Exclusive with the Polgar modules (the 10 Mhz variety), from the early 1990's.
However, I also much desired the larger Munchen board, and just a few weeks ago
managed to buy one of them with the Risc modules.

Now I want one of the much rarer Bavaria boards that has piece recognition.  :-)

It Never Ends Regards,

Dick Schneiders
